Tim,

SANP?? cann't figure it out.

I'm afraid these goloks are not very old.
He might got it from an old indonesian man who fought in the wars for the KNIL in indonesia, but I'm pretty sure this golok has never seen a KNIL soldier. I think when this piece was made the KNIL didn't exist any more.

Sorry Henk it is meant to be SNAP a simple card game. When you turn over the same value card the first player to shout snap wins. I have struggled with spelling all my life, unlike people how find spelling no problem I do not find fault in those who cannot draw.

Hi Tim,

Don't we all have problems with spelling so now and then?

But for a dutchie some english terms, shortenings or proverbs are not so very common. So this dutchie was staring for 15 minutes to SANP and trying to make all kind of explanations for it like: So Another New Piece

But SNAP and more your explanation about the game made it clear for me.

Thanks Tim.
