The Boxcraft Game of “Ringfling.” It is made with the help of pencils
and cardboard cut from box covers.
The Boxcraft Game of “Shoot the Chutes.” It is played with spools.
Cut a ring from cardboard, using a compass or saucer to guide you in drawing it first. Make it about three inches in diameter. (See [Diagram Eleven, B], page 185, for cutting ring.) Make a smaller ring just like this larger one, and cut it in the very same way.
Take your pencils. Press the point of one into each section of the game-board at its center near the numeral you have drawn. Press the points of the pencils down first, and be careful to keep each hole small, so that the pencil will not slip too far down in it. The tops of all pencils should be of an even height, as you see them in the picture.
Here are the rules of the game:
Players play in turn.
Players count out to see who will begin the game and who will follow.
Each play consists of a turn to throw the large ring and the small ring.
The object of play is to have the ring tossed fall so that it circles about a pencil.
