(as an aside... Judd you are on! We can flip for the shiny stuff)Ted,Colors was the 'other' popular game in the schoolyard besides flipping cards.It worked like this.Two kids would take their stack of baseball cards and hold them face down - similar to how you would hold a deck of cards in the card game 'war'.The first kid would go and would throw a card down from the top of his pile and place it face up.The next kid would go and would throw a card down from the top of his pile and place it face up on top of the last card thrown.If the colors of the printed band on the bottom of the card were the same... that kid would be able to take the whole pile.Assuming the colors were not the same... the kids continue to take turns placing a card on top of the pile until one kid is able to match the prior card.It worked pretty good in the 70s.Assume that the following cards were placed down one after the other (two kids alternating turns).The fourth card here is the winner as it went on top of the same "color".... the kid gets to take the whole pile of 4 cards.Usually the game continued unitl one kid lost all of his cards, the teachers made us go back to class, or a mom called a kid in for dinner.
