Tippit is a Welsh game that dates back hundreds of years and similar games - including Up Jenkins - are played in parts of France, Iraq, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, and the USA. ==The game== 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 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. The person who is trying to find the Tippit taps the hand of an opponent and says either:- *"Take your left/right hand away". The tapped opponent opens the hand specified and if the coin is not there, the person puts the hand by their side. If the Tippit is revealed, then the team hiding the Tippit have won the round. They score one point and get to hide the Tippit amongst themselves again. *"Tippit in your left/right". The tapped opponent opens their hand to show whether or not the coin is there. If the Tippit is revealed, then the team searching for the Tippit wins the coin. They score no points but get the opportunity to hide the coin. If the Tippit is ''not'' in the fist mentioned, then the searcher has lost and the team with the Tippit score a point and get to hide it over again - once they have revealed who really had it all along. Games are usually played until one team reaches a score of 11. There are minor regional variations in command words and game length but these rules remain essentially the same wherever the game is played. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tippit」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
