Spans_2 to 10 players._
_Out of doors; indoors._
This is a game played by snapping buttons against a wall, their
landing point determining a score. Each player has a button. One of
the players lays his button on the ground near a wall or fence. The
others, in turn, snap their buttons against the wall so as to rebound
near to that of the first player. Should the button snapped drop
within one hand reach or span (_i.e._ the distance between stretched
thumb and fingers) of the button first laid down, it scores two points
for the player throwing it. If it comes within two such spans of the
first button, it scores one point. Should it hit this button and
bounce away within but one span, it counts four points. Should it so
bounce within two spans, it scores three points; and should it go
farther than this, it scores but one point. The number of points in
the game, twenty-five or fifty, is agreed on at the outset. The
players take regular turns, and the first to score the required number
wins the game.
