= An interesting mixture of an arlequin game and a lotto game. All players roll a die. Whoever rolls highest pays a coin into the till and dons the jester's cap. The other players take turns to roll two dice. Each player has a card, where they mark off the numbers they just rolled by closing the corresponding metal tab. Whenever they close a tab, the player may roll again. If a player rolls a number of which the tab is already closed, they pay a coin to the jester. On the roll of a 7, the player pays a coin into the till and takes over the jester's cap and hands over his card to the former jester. When a player has closed all tabs on either half of their card, they get half the content of the till. The game ends when a player has closed all tabs. This player wins the game and the till. Cf. Papertoys p. 130, 236-236.
