@Christine: I’ve lived here for six years and this was the first time I’d heard of it, although all my coworkers (who grew up here) had – that’s a good example of why not everything librarian can know everything.

All my cousins played it growing up. It’s fun — you should give it a try!

It’s fun to play at the bar because when people come up to ask you what you’re playing you get to look them in the eye and tell them – it can be very funny, if you’re quick to explain.
