    @shiney We have a similar game called crokinole. I remember my index fingernail used to get sore on the middle of the surface from repeatedly flicking it against those wooden discs. I really should bring that up from the cellar to show the grandkids. I'll need to read the rules before doing that because it's been many decades since I played.

      In India they use their middle finger for it. It's a longer finger and keeps the flicking nail away from the other fingers

      Is that what they call it? :ideaIPB:

      We only had 'inside' (inside the cave) and 'outside' and occasionally, 'Here be Monsters'.
