| Jul 23, 2018 at 19:12 | comment | added | lly | @V2Blast Assuming Sydney doesn't mind, I just did the legwork myself and added it on. Maybe it started w/people being tossed onto the pile like sacks of grain; maybe it started w/'hunters' pouncing on the 'kill' before getting mangled all to pieces. Either way, it's a real thing and it looks like those two British versions will be the earliest attested forms of these games in English, assuming there isn't some version in the Oxford or Cambridge histories. | |
