A card game from the J.H. Singer Company of New York , copyrighted 1891. Each player is provided with a card which he or she must place in front of themselves on the table in plain view of all, he or she is also provided with 9 counters. The players throw dice in turn and the color thrown must be covered on the card by a counter. If "black" is thrown the players must take a counter off of his/her card, if he should have none to take he/she loses the next turn.
The player who first succeeds in covering all of the spaces on his/her card calls out CUCKOO and wins the game.
