Flaming Good Fun for all the Family

Before we start cooking, a quick mention of a 17th Century game your guests could be playing while you add the finishing touches to your banquet. 

Here's one we're working on

You will need:

A long stick
An apple
A candle
Matches
A blindfold


 




Simply suspend the stick around head height. Tie the apple onto one end and the candle onto the other. Light the candle. Blindfold the player and point him or her in the vague direction of the stick. What could possibly go wrong?

We're looking to collect more examples of games from the period. They clearly knew how to have fun. If you know of any please let us know.
