Games we played

Owzthat. A fellow pupil in my class at Ellis in the 50s had one, I thought it was  cool.

We later acquired one at home in the early 80s based not on facetted rollers but on 4 cubes like dice about 1 inch but with the scores and responses printed on them.

I still possess two sets of good quality dominoes and also a set of Triominoes. These are triangular shaped played in a similar way to dominoes with a different scoring system. Great game !

It supposed to be 2 to 4 players but we've had as many as 9 in a game, such was it's popularity. Playing with more than 4 means you just play with less tiles.

I looked on Amazon. Surprisingly you can still buy indoor fireworks!

Outdoor ones are bad enough with my eldest cat! A rocket has just hit my upstairs window, fortunately no damage as the stick was 40 inches long. How is that safe in a residential area?
