CWDD: Chuck-a-luck

[Jeremy Bevard]

One of everyones favorite books is 'Corporal Si Klegg and His Pard.' When preparing this episode a quote from Hinman immediately came to my mind. He said “about half the ponchos, after they had been in service a few months…had the necessary squares and figures for chuck-a-luck.” Watch this week’s episode as we explore this game and teach you how to play it. A board as he said can be made simply on a rubber cloth and almost anything could be used to bet with. So, don't let not having a fancy board and currency stop you!

Episode 12, Vol. III: Chuck A Luck

If fack you do NOT have to get that fancy (as the Original Board) from previous post. This is a gum blanket I painted a Chuck-A-Luck Board on one end and a Checkers Board on the other years ago.

Sam Watkins makes several references to chuck-a-luck in Co. Aytch, among other games to pass the time in camp.
