Half the games on the cover must be "played everywhere" only in England. I recognize marbles, hopscotch, kick the can, and follow-the-leader. "Cut foot and guide" looks like leapfrog. The rest are unfamiliar. Does anyone know American equivalents of conkers, pinner, rounders, Monday-Tuesday, or table the duck?
