- (continued from previous page)When a quoit is near the jack and is broken by another player the owner calls "sligiríns" when the broken fragment may be driven nearer to the jack, and if no other quoit gets nearer, he counts first and adds to the number of firsts already made.
Note 3. The object of some players is to break the quoits of the others, for this purpose he uses heavy ones himself. Players also skid their quoits to displace others from the jack.
This was a very popular game with boys some forty years ago. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
