Scarnie

"Scarnie" is an enigmatic board game by John Scarne, distinct from "Scarney" despite historical photos linking them. Played on a board with four stations (numbers 1–7) and a central pool. It uses 28 numbered discs (color-number correlation unknown) placed face down. After revealing them, pawns are eliminated, and the last one remaining scores points. The rules remain partially incomplete and ambiguous.
