Requiring two sets of numbered cards, the players are
given these cards of one set only until all are distributed. The other set of
cards, corresponding in number to those given out, are played face down on the
central table (or floor if desired).
Each player in turn goes to this set,
places his hand upon the topmost cards and says, "The boy who has the card
corresponding to this is red headed and quick tempered. He will either be a
great politician or have a coal wagon" (or something else humorous, or
impossible).
He then turns the card over, holds it up, and finds the owner of
the corresponding card. Much fun may be had if the description given was exactly
opposite of the truth.
The game continues by having the owner of the last card
tell some one's character or fortune.
