Has anyone heard of wappee, a Trinidadian game?:
"Hat and his friends began using Bogart's room as their club house.
They played wappee and drank rum and smoked, and sometimes brought the
odd stray woman to the room. Hat was presently involved with the
police for gambling and sponsoring cock-fighting; and he had to spend
a lot of money to bribe his way out of trouble."
Cards? Dominoes? Something else? |
