SHOVE HA'PENNY - The traditional pub game
Tue Jun 07, 2022 7:53 am
I haven't posted much lately, but here's a game that I finished today.
It was interesting trying to get the voice-over software to pronounce 'Ha'penny' correctly. The spelling 'Haypnee' got there in the end. (I did hear an American You Tuber pronounce it as 'Har-Penny' which made me laugh). If you were from London or SE England, you'd pronounce it all as one word: 'Fancy a game of Shuvaypnee?'

Clicking the coin for heads or tails always turned heads...
..or did I just simply have an (un)lucky streak?
This seems to be a fantastic bar game that goes well with a couple of pints! I always liked penny games and in elementary school would gamble my pocket money mom gave to buy milk and buns with. Sometimes would go hungry for the day . In general we don't have bar games in Poland except for the rare occurences of darts and less rare pool.

I think it was an unlucky streak. I just downloaded the game from the link above and tails came up on second click.
There's a randomiser over the coin that's made up of 4 segments (2 heads 2 tails) on a 5 second rotation. So it's 50/50 in theory, but if you click on the same spot every 5 seconds, you'll get the same result.
These days, you'll only see the game played in a few rural pubs. It's not as popular now as it used to be.
