2. Welsh game
Tippit is a Welsh game played with a single coin, that dates back hundreds of years. Similar games - including Up Jenkins - are played elsewhere in Europe and the United States.
The game is played using a small coin. Two teams of three face each other across a table and toss the coin to decide who goes first.
The winning team members put their hands under the table and move the coin unseen between the three pairs of hands.
When ready, the centre player knocks three times on the underside of the table and all three pairs of clenched fists (one containing the coin) are placed on the table.
The opposing team, who can confer, must then attempt to find the coin in the following manner.
