(今夜,我将凝望明月,我知道——
海角天涯某处,你也在望着它。)
即将到来的中秋之夜
除了吟诗作赋
饮酒赏月、品尝月饼、
猜谜、观潮、玩花灯、饮桂花酒……
都将在广袤华夏大地上如火如荼地进行
而在福建厦门地区
家家户户更喜欢一种好玩的游戏:
『中秋博饼』
何为博饼
(Gaming for Mooncakes)
可以吃吗?
Six dice in a porcelain bowl and 63 mooncakes
6个骰子、一个陶瓷碗、63块月饼
博饼,简单说就是掷骰子赢月饼。
具体是这么操作的——
First, a player, usually the most elderly or respected at the table, is elected to throw the first two dice. The total number on the dice, such as eight, indicates that the eighth person to his right will start the game.
首先,由一个人(通常为年高望重者)掷出2个骰子确定谁先开始游戏。如若2个骰子的总和为8,那么其右手边的第8个人就先掷骰。
Once this player has thrown his six dice, the game continues counterclockwise until everyone has had a turn. Then the points are tabulated to decide who wins this round, and the prize he gets.
第一个人掷出6个骰子后,其他人按逆时针方向继续依次掷骰,直到轮完一轮为结束。游戏结果会以表格形式展现,如玩家的掷骰点数情况、游戏赢家及所获奖品等。
那么
谁掷的骰子点数最多
谁就能吃到大饼喽?
没那么简单!
