When I was little(1950's) my mom , my sisters and I used to play "Fox and Geese". It was a chasing game. We would make a round path in the snow and we would each have our own "house". Whoever was the fox would stand in the middle and as we tried to escape back to our houses the fox would chase us. This is all very sketchy as I was so young. Is anybody(baby boomers) familiar with this game? I'll have to ask my mom how to play it. She grew up in the 30's and 40's and she played the game then. So it is a very old game.
