Morra: An ancient Italian hand numbers & word game is now available as an iBook or eBook and obtainable in print. Morra was known to the ancient Romans and is popular around the world. In the Bible, it may have been referred to as “casting lots.” In ancient Rome, it was called Micatio, and playing it was referred to as micare digitis; literally, “to flash with the fingers.” This book traces the origins (from Egypt & Turkey), includes the rules, compares it to other hand-gesture games, provides a playoff matrix for the serious contender or inquisitive mind, and discusses its influence on modern America.
