the game that taught me at about 7 years old how wonderful "revenge" can feel .. they should have named it "Take That You (Fill in the blank). 
Seriously, 50 plus years and I still dig it. used it to teach my kids good sportmanship vs. how I learned it playing with older cousins.

If you're talking ice cream, this stuff is the s##t!
