QUIET GAMES
_2 to 10 players._
_Out of doors._
This is one of the pretty Oriental games recorded from Korea by
Mr. Culin, and is played by the children of that country,
Japan, and China.
The players each gather a handful of meadow bloo
blossoms and grass
indiscriminately, not selecting the contents of the bunch. All sit
down in a group. The first player lays out one from his pile, say a
buttercup. All of the players around the circle try to match this,
that is, each one who has buttercups lays all of them in a pile with
that of the first player, who appropriates the entire pile when this
has gone around the circle. Then the next player lays out something
which all must try to match. The one wins who has the largest number
of grasses or blossoms all counted together at the end. Different
sorts of grasses and leaves count in this game as well as different
kinds or colors of blossoms.
