Shadow Buff
Shadow Buff differs very materially from Blind Man's Buff, but it is equally amusing. A large piece of white linen should be fastened neatly up at one end of room, so that it hangs quite smooth; Buff (not blinded) seats himself on a low stool with his face to the linen, and a table, on which is a lighted candle, should be placed about four or five feet behind him, and the rest of the lights in the room extinguished. Buffy's playfellows next pass in succession, between the candle and him, distorting their features in as grotesque a manner as possible-hopping, limping, and performing various odd antier, so as to make their shadows very unlike their usual looks. Buffy must then try to guess to whom the shadows belong, and if he guesses correctly, the player whose shadow he recognizes takes his place. Buff is allowed only one guess for each person, and must not turn his head either to the right or left to see who passes.
