[432] The New Zealand game “ti” consists in counting on the fingers. One of the players calls a number and must instantly touch the right finger; while in the Samoan game “Lupe” (see Andree, op. cit., p. 99) one player holds up a certain number of fingers, whereupon his opponent must do the same or be loser.
