No. 55 Truth
The game of “Truth,” as played in Massachusetts, is described by Miss Alcott in her “Little Women,” chapter xii. The players are there said to pile up their hands, choose a number, and draw out in turn, and the person who draws his or her hand from the pile at the number selected has to answer truly any questions put by the rest.
We have heard of a party of young people who met regularly to play this game, but have been assured that it proved prolific of quarrels.
