Blind Man's Buff
Blind man's buff or blind man's bluff is a variant of tag in which the player who is "It" (i.e, the person who is tagging others) is blindfolded. The traditional name of the game is "blind man's buff", where the word ''buff'' is used in its older sense of a small push. Gameplay Blind man's buff is played in a spacious area, such as outdoors or in a large room, in which one player, designated as "It", is blindfolded and feels around attempting to touch the other players without being able to see them, while the other players scatter and try to avoid the person who is "it", hiding in plain sight and sometimes teasing them to influence them to change direction. When the "it" player catches someone, the caught player becomes "it" and the catcher flees from them. Versions There are several versions of the game: * In one version, the first player tagged by It then becomes It, and another round of the game is played. The Chinese version refers to the tagged It as (, literally "t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Blind Man's Bluff (Fragonard, 1750)
''Blind Man's Bluff'' (French: ''Le collin maillard'') is a painting by the French Rococo painter Jean-Honoré Fragonard, produced around 1750 in oil on canvas. It is held by the Toledo Museum of Art in Toledo, Ohio, United States, which purchased it with funds from the Libbey Endowment, a gift of the glass manufacturer Edward Libbey who founded the museum in 1901. The artist also produced another work of the same title some time between 1775 and 1780, which is held in the Samuel H. Kress Collection. Eighteenth-century engravings were produced of both paintings, showing that they may have originally been as much as a foot higher at the top. Background and content The painting is full of deceptions – the girl is looking out from under her blindfold and the game seems to be a pretext leading to seduction; the two figures are in pastoral costume, but may be noble or bourgeois figures playing at being pastoral figures; the background seems to be a wood but could be a stage set. ...

He exhibited it at a solo exhibition in 1812 and then at the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition of 1813 at Somerset House, where it was "full as much liked as any I ever painted".

Blind Man's Bluff (poker)
Blind man's bluff (also called Indian poker, squaw poker, Oklahoma forehead, Good For You and Indian head) is a version of poker that is unconventional in that each person sees the cards of all players ''except their own''. In the standard version, the person with the highest card wins. Each player is dealt one card that they display to all other players (traditionally stuck to the forehead facing outwards, supposedly like an Indian feather). This is followed by a round of betting. Players attempt to guess if they have the highest card based on the distribution of visible cards and how other players are betting. Other versions (forehead stud) are variations on stud poker, in which one or more of the hole cards is hidden from its owner, but shown to all other players, as above. During its coverage of the 2004 World Series of Poker, ESPN showed a blind man's bluff version of Texas hold 'em Texas hold 'em (also known as Texas holdem, hold 'em, and holdem) is the most popula ...

The Untold Story Of American Submarine Espionage
''The'' is a grammatical article in English, denoting nouns that are already or about to be mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words.
