- Played "under the rug"--a game in which you have 5 objects on top of a "rug" (you can use anything). Player 1 hides some of the objects under the "rug". Player 2 figures out how many objects are under the rug by looking at how many are left on top. Great game to play at a restaurant. Use sugar packets and call it "Under the Napkin!"
