Some say this, and some say that, but I say name X, 1 2 3 4 5” X: “What I sir?”… L: “Yes you sir!”… X: “No not I sir”… L: “Who then sir?”… X: “<name> 1 2 3 4 5”… starting the whole cycle all over again.

To the left of the Priest is Man Jack, then One, Two etc. It's recommended to number off, especially after much wine, so everyone knows who they are. The object is to become the Priest by the end of the game. The Priest starts the round with these words: Priest: "The Priest of the Parish has lost his hat. Some say this. Some say
