Box Lotto Game
Material Required to Make a Game of Box Lotto : The two halves of a shallow box similar to that in which letter-paper comes packed, an old calendarpad containing the numbered days of two months, some cardboard from which to cut markers or a handful of dried white beans. Tools Needed to Make Box Lotto: A pair of scissors, some paste. Box Lotto requires some scissor work and paste for its making. To make it you must have the shallow halves of two boxes or two small covers that have fitted together to form one box. Also, you will have to hunt for two numbered leaves of some calendar that have thirty days to a month printed on them. It takes very little time to make the game: first, cut out the numbers from the calendar in neat squares. Mix these well and then place fifteen in one box cover and fifteen in the other, pasting the numbers in neat rows with space between. If you look at the picture of the game, you will see how this should be done. Now, if you can find another calendar-leaf that has another thirty days upon it, cut these out in the same way and mount these upon small squares of cardboard, each separate. The cardboard squares should be about an inch in size and it will take little time to make them. If you have no other numbered calendar-leaf for your play, write the numbers on the cardboard slips yourself. Write plainly and underline the number six and the number nine. You will need a handful of dried beans. When these cannot be found, take a square of colored cardboard or the bright cover of some old pamphlet, and cut this into thirty small squares each about a quarter of an inch in size. When these are cut, your game is ready to play. Each player takes one numbered box cover for play. How to play Box Lotto Two may play the game. It is played in three rounds. To win, a player must have two rounds to his credit. To start the game, turn all numbered cardboard squares over so that numbers do not show. Mix these up very thoroughly. Keep them in a pile in the center of your play-table. Count out to see who shall start. The player who starts, takes a numbered square from the center of the table. (He must not see the number he is drawing.) He turns the number over and calls it. Then, the player who has this number draws a bean and puts it over the number that has been called and that is in- side his box cover. (If colored squares cut from cardboard are used for markers, he draws one of these instead and places it over his number.) Place the square from the center pile, after it has been called, aside. The next player then takes his turn and calls a new number. The first to have filled his box with paper-markers or beans to cover its fifteen numbers wins a round of the game. Then, start again, mixing numbers in the center pile well. The first to win two rounds to him is victory
