what is skully
Skully (game) Skully (also called skelly, skellies, skelsy, skellzies, scully, loadies, scummy top, tops or caps but widely known as Scummy) is a children's game played on the streets of New York City and other urban areas. Sketched on the street usually in chalk, a skully or skelly board allows a game for two to six players. A sidewalk is sometimes used, offering greater protection from vehicular traffic; however, the asphalt on a typical city street is smoother and provides better game play than a bumpy concrete sidewalk.
