Who created this game?

This game has been played for over a hundred years. It is not known which individual created the game. It wouldn't be surprising if it was a group of school-aged kids who created it and played it for fun and as a pastime. The earliest findings of the game I found online was in a book called "Games for the Playground, Home, School, and Gymnasium by Jessie Hubbell Bancroft (pg. 404). This book can be read for free on Gutenberg.org.

Question

What if my friend screams, whines, and cries if she loses and her parents insist that we were wrong?

Community Answer

Then you should not play spud with that person and tell your friend that you will not play with her for a while if she keeps doing that and does not learn to be a good teammate and player of the game. She will not be very successful if she whines and cries every time something bad happens to her. You don't need to worry about her parents. Ask them if they insist to deal with your parents.

Anyone can play Spud. Very young children might not have a fun time, however, if they tire quickly, forget their number, or are made It frequently because they can't run very far.
