2easyco 41 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 I remember in junior school playing 'stick-up's' which involved standing a toy artifact like a soldier or leaning a tin badge up (or any other highly valued object) and rolling a bullie (ball bearing) from a distant chalked line. The objective was to hit the opponent's article thereby acquiring another prize. I can't remember the full rules now, maybe someone can? Another game involved flicking flattened ciggy packs as near to a wall as possible to win, numerous ciggy brands of the day had different values to the young collectors.
