Listed below are a few games played during the 17th century. One player is blindfolded. The other players form a circle around the blindfolded person within a confined area. One of the players turns the blindfolded person around three times, then takes a position within the circle. The first person caught by the blindfolded person becomes the next blindfolded person.
Players sit in a circle.
When the hunter returns, the other players pass the object around secretly while the hunter is not looking. The hunter is allowed to ask questions and has three guesses on the whereabouts of the object. When the slipper is located, the hunter exchanges places with the player who has the object and the game starts over. This is one of the oldest marble games known where two players try to win marbles from each other. The first player tosses a marble on a smooth surface.
