Tobies

A innocent, yet twisted kid's role playing game of master and servant; based on the book & movie Roots and named after Toby Kuntekente -a slave from Roots. The game is a twist of other popular kids games"Simon Says",β€œMother May I?", and "Cops and Robbers." Players improve listening skills and reinforce the use of manners. GAME LAYOUT & OBJECTIVES: One player is the designated as the "Master" and other players are the "slaves" or "Tobies". The Master's objective is to keep his "Tobies" from escaping, under control, and keep them working. The Master uses a system of reward and punishment within reason to keep the "Tobies" on task. The Toby's objective is to primarily to avoid punishment or escape when an opportunity arises. Players take turns being the Master and the Toby/s. STRATEGY AND TACTICS: For the "Tobies", being polite and saying, "Yes, Master" and trying to be on the Master's good side-is helpful. Be a kind Master, because you want the new Master to be kind to you when you become a "Toby". Modifications may also be used in any combination to make the game easier or harder for different age groups. ORIGIN: The game originated in Minnesota in the late 1970's and early 1980's, when the Roots aired on TV.

John: I'm bored. You guys wanna play Risk or Monopoly?
Sally: No, I wanna play "Tobies".
Bobby: Me, too!
John: Okay, fine but I get to be the Master.

Toby

Toby was the dog in the Punch and Judy
shows, popular in England in the 19th century. Some members of the British public thought such shows were immoral but they were strongly defended by Charles Dickens

What a load of codswallop, imagine audiences paying the sort of money they are charged for entertainment today going to a Punch and Judy show to hear such lines, written for Toby, as " (snarl) arr, arr " or " Bow, wow, wow "
