There are many feats which can be performed in a small room without injury to either furniture or oneself. Furthest Penny is one of the finest.
For two persons of equal height. Keeping your feet behind a line you must stretch along the ground supported on your left hand ONLY and place a penny as far away from the line as possible using your right hand. You must then (still supporting your weight on your left hand) return to a standing position behind the line. The person who has placed the penny the furthest is now in the lead - but to win he must now recover his penny using the same technique. If he fails the other person wins.

What sources do you use to find these games?
Yehuda
Thank you Yehuda for your continued interest. Two main sources: human(myself, brother, extended family) literature (old books) I have done internet searches on some of these games and there is nothing on quite a lot of them. I seem to be the world expert on Trussed Fowls and Thimble Soccer.
Of the books - some of the early/victorian parlor games have been drawn from a book called 300 Games and Pastimes - a book of suggestions for childrens games and employments(1900) by Edward Verrall Lucas a very fine volume.
Also, I invented a few of the games in my youth: walking trippy, bucket heads, thimble soccer, battle le trec (yet to feature) are some of mine.
My favourite game from my recent posts is Slave Trader which, I swear, is a real game from the 1950's
Many Regards,

p.s. if you could mention my blog on yours again sometime in the future I would be pleased. I would love to get more than 6 people a day reading my blog. Most of the visitors come from Google typing Strange games - but I'm not sure I'm exactly what they are looking for.
Chin chin!
