Re: [pbmserv] What is the name of the game?

[Eric Shultz <swift_4@yahoo.com>]

Most likely, it's either Fox and Geese, or Fox and
Sheep.  I've seen both.  There's also a name that
relates to Pirates, I think.  If it has a proper name,
I've not heard it.

Someone should put it on the server though.  It's a
classic.
