Listening to old Bill Cosby albums today, I was inspired to look up the rules of Buck Buck, found on Games Kids Play--a fun (and often loony) collection of playground rules. Frankly, some of them are in need of a FAQ.

UPDATE: Dr. Chris passes along the history of Buck Buck, which leads much further back than I would have ever guessed:

In The Satyricon of Petronius Arbiter, written about A.D. 65, there is an incident at Trimalchio's feast involving his favourite serving boy: Trimalchio, not to seem moved by the loss, kissed the boy and bade him get on his back. Without delay the boy climbed on horseback on him, and slapped him on the shoulders with his hand, laughing and calling out "Bucca, bucca, quot sunt hic?"
