Rules
Rules of the game, some necessary and others not, include:
- The foul line can not be crossed during a throw, doing so results in immediate loss of the round.
- The coin will not be scored, and will be lost, if it leaves the boundary area.
- Bouncing the coin off the goal line is permitted.
- If the time is not taken to clear a proper area, and no boundary lines are set, a coin is in "interference" if it touches any obstacle (such as a backpack). Coins in interference are lost as if they went out of bounds.
- Play is separated into rounds, of which the winner collects all the coins played unless specified that the round is "friendly" or "for practice."

“Alas! when Virtue sits high aloft on a frigate’s poop, when Virtue is crowned in the cabin of a Commodore, when Virtue rules by compulsion, and domineers over Vice as a slave, then Virtue, though her mandates be outwardly observed, bears little interior sway.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“A man often thinks he rules himself, when all the while he is ruled and managed; and while his understanding directs one design, his affections imperceptibly draw him into another.”
