yeoldenews/183041534872/wait-whats-the-i-wind-who-holds-game-and-the in the divination game they were playing, do you know what the other trinkets (like the thimble) meant?
I'm not sure about all the items in the post, but a few of them show up with explanations in other variations of the game.
According to the 1912 book "Games for Halloween" by Mary E. Blain, the author states that the "thimble denotes a life of single blessedness" and the penny wealth.
The pen point would likely foretell literary or academic success. And I assume the skull would indicate the first to die, but it could also have had a more a more abstract meaning like the Death card in tarot.
I'm not sure what objects the "flame of life" and "hand of opportunity" would have been, but their meanings seem fairly straight forward.
Two common items I've seen in other variations of the game are a key (indicating a long and happy journey) and a button (which I've seen representing either lifelong bachelorhood or that your sweetheart is nearby).
This game was much more commonly played by baking the items into a cake or bread, or putting them in a bowl of mashed potatoes.
Peggy's game seems to have been a creative combination of the traditional fortune telling game and snap-dragon, another popular parlor game.
DEC 27-28 - Parlor games for different family teams of the Balot clan and I was picked to play the tag of war. And we held our grand reunion photo. Over 50+ members! What a clan! We also had our breakfast there on our last day the other day.

Hey folks. Some friends of mine created a new game called “Ate the Game”. It’s super fun and I’m very proud of them (it’s been years in the making)! Please check them out and consider supporting their Kickstarter.
