    The tames is started like 25 or 45.
    Each player tries to prevent another from making 15 (and in the start no one is anxious to make "game"). When 15 is not made all the players "back" again. The game is continued until some one makes the 3 tricks, and again a fresh game is played.
    The idea is to keep in the games so that the pools grows which every deal. And id well played often the game is kept in until there would be about 3/- in the pool, and then it would be worth a draw.

  2. Child's Play - Rounders

    Share Share Post
    As I saw the game played by the youngest children on the Strand.
    The players are divided into two teams, any number of children can take place in the game.
    A bat and ball are used in the game. I will describe how the game is played by a simple illustration.
    Team 1 and Team 2
    A coin is tossed to find which team is in and which played outside.
    Suppose Team 1 wins the toss, this team stands in a line convenient to the battling station. The other team is arranged outside and all round the ring.
