TRAP
This game will be much appreciated on winter evenings, sitting round the lire. It is called “Trap.” The players sit in a row or circle, and the counting begins. The first says “One,” the second “Two” and so on, excepting in numbers which contain the numeral seven or a multiple of it. In place of seven, 14, 21, 28, 35 and so on, “Trap” should be said. The counting should be rapid, as taking too much time to think makes the game uninteresting. It is quite a surprise to find how often people will blunder, especially on the multiples of seven. As soon as a player makes a mistake he or she drops out. and the counting begins again with “one.”
