Push-pin was an English child's game played from the 16th until the 19th centuries. It is also known as "put-pin", and it is similar to Scottish games called "Hattie" and "Pop the Bonnet".〔Francis Willughby's Book of Games ISBN 1-85928-460-4〕 In philosophy it has been used as an example of a relatively worthless form of amusement. ==Rules== In push-pin each player sets one pin (needle) on a table and then tries to push his pin across his opponent's pin.〔Gomme, Alice Bertha, ''Traditional Games of England, Scotland, and Ireland'', Vol. 2 (London: David Nutt, 1898), (p. 86 )〕 The game is played by two or more players. In "Pop the Bonnet", or "hattie", players place two pins on the brim of a hat. They take turns tapping or "popping" on the sides of the hat trying to cause pins to cross one another. Whichever player causes them to cross takes the pins.〔Gomme, ('s%20traditional%20games%20england%20push-pin&pg=PA64#v=onepage&q=%22pop%20the%20bonnet%22&f=false, p. 64 )〕 〔Gomme, (p.199 )〕 This was a form of gambling, where a player could win or lose their pins, which were valuable as a rare imported commodity at that time. Boys and men might stash several pins on a sleeve or lapel to be prepared to play.〔(ANNALS of PHILADELPHIA AND PENNSYLVANIA, VOL. II Chapter 42 FINAL APPENDIX of the YEAR 1856.
