This is one of those concepts that sounds much more complicated than it really is. To begin with each player starts each leg with five "lives". Each player takes a turn and the player who scores the lowest loses a life. So far so good, but if the score is equal then the next turn is worth two lives instead of one. The first life is decided by the first throw of the next turn and the second life is decided by the sum of all three throws. In this situation the score is quoted as a double number e.g. if the first throw scores 5 and the total of three throws scores 8, the score for the turn is "5 - 8". If either of these two "lives" are drawn, then the next turn is also worth two lives decided in the same way and so on. Pastimes of the English people".

A popular tune throughout the present and former English commonweatlh and colonies. It was performed on the concert stage as part of a set romantically entitled "Spey's Fury's" by J. Scott Skinner in 1921. "De'il Among the Tailors" is the name of a skittles game—a kind of tabletop pub game—although the game may well have taken its title from the popularity of the fiddle tune. The title appears in Henry Robson's list of popular Northumbrian song and dance tunes, which he published c. 1800. David Johnson (1983), whose version is from Macgoun's Five fashionable Reels (c. 1800), states the tune was written c. 1790. The melody appears as an untitled hornpipe in the music manuscript copybook of John Burks, dated 1821. Unforunately, nothing is known of Burks, although he may have been from the north of England. Bayard collected a version resembling the "Devil's Dream" forms of the tune from a source raised on Prince Edward Island, Canada (Bayard, 1981; Appendix No. 2B, pg. 572). See also "Devil's Dream" for another PEI collected version. In America the tune is almost invariably known by the "Devil's Dream" title (although Ira Ford had it as " Devil Among the Tailors (2) (The)," presumably collected from Missouri fiddlers--see note for that version for more on American sources), while in the British Isles it usually appears under the title in the heading above. Emmerson (1971) suggests the melody can be identified as belonging to a class of melodies with phrases based on a quarter note followed by two eighth notes; tunes in this class also include " Largo's Fairy Dance," " Rachel Rae," and " Wind that Shakes the Barley (The)."
