Blind man's buff or blind man's bluff is a children's game, a variant of tag in which the player who is "It" is blindfolded. The traditional name of the game is "blind man's buff", where the word ''buff'' is used in its older sense of a small push. The game later also became known as "blind man's bluff"; it is possible that this name is a linguistic corruption. ==Versions== There are several versions of the game: * In one version, the first player tagged by It then becomes It, and another round of the game is played. The Chinese version refers to the tagged It as ''lìng dài'' 令代, literally "to bid to take the place of". * In another version, whenever any player is tagged by It, that player is out of the game. The game proceeds until all players are out of the game, at which point another round of the game starts, with either the first player or the last player to be tagged becoming the next It player. * In yet another version, It feels the face of the person tagged and attempts to identify the person, and only if the person is correctly identified does the person become It. * In a unique Japanese version, young girls dress up in their kimonos and the blind-folded girl must catch or touch the other girls both while blindfolded and at the same time carrying a full cup of tea. This is portrayed in Shuntei Miyagawa's woodblock print ''Kodomo-no-Asobi'' (Children at Play), published in 1899 by Matsuki Heikichi of Tokyo. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Blind man's buff」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
