The directions on it (in the museum) said "The game must be played with a totum." <br /><br />I came home to look "totum" up. I might check older dictionaries later, too. What I found with google was this:<br /><br />tee·to·tum <br />[tee-toh-tuhm] <br />–noun<br />1.<br />any small top spun with the fingers.<br />2.<br />a kind of die having four sides, each marked with a different initial letter, spun with the fingers in an old game of chance.Sandra Doddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11853107998229753762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3825932641239831865.post-13218788431939975032011-05-26T12:43:50.424-06:002011-05-26T12:43:50.424-06:00I've seen that one too.
