What did the people of Jamestown do for fun in 1607?

Answer 1

1. Question and Answer It involves writing oblique questions and all-purpose answers on separate cards, and passing them out randomly. You can make them as silly, dark, or esoteric as your company desires. Questions like, “Would you kiss anyone who asked you?” “How often do you lie to your spouse?” “Have you ever punched a cow?” are ultimately paired with answers like, “Ask your mother.” “When I’m frustrated by my zipper.”

2. Ring Taw There are many ways to play marbles, but the most popular marble game in Revolutionary days was Ring Taw. It’s kind of like playing pool: You use your big Shooter marble (or Taw) like a cue to knock your friends’ marbles out of a drawn circle of dirt. You get to keep all the ones you knock out.

3. Ninepins Similar to modern Bowling.

4. The Simpleton To play The Simpleton, all guests form a circle around another player and pretend to engage in different careers (painting walls, writing books, smelting). The player in the center pretends to play a Flute, and sings a song about Margaret, who does not love him.

The original text can explain it: “When he ceases to sing, to take up the trade of one of the players, that player must play in his turn on the flute, moving his fingers, as if holding one, but without being obliged to sing; and when the conductor of the game takes up his song again or takes another trade, the player on the flute must quickly return to his: if he mistakes, he gives a forfeit to the master of the game.”

5. King of Morocco It was one of the games for unmarried couples, involving a man and woman walking solemnly across from opposite corners, holding candles. They meet, and recite the following.

The Gentleman: Have you heard the frightful news? Lady: Alas! Gentleman: The King of Morocco is dead. Lady: Alas! alas! Gentleman: He is buried. Lady: Alas! alas! alas! Gentleman: Alas! alas! alas! and for four times, alas He has cut his throat with a piece of glass.”

Then "both end their walk with a solemn air, and ... run gayly to their places."
