Buzzing is fun eveyone. For those that would like some fun at their next Mardi Gras celebration, consider this classic yet great game. This Mardi Gras Buzz game is a very old game, but is always a very great favorite. The more the players, the greater the fun will be in this particular game so get everyone together to play. The way to play it is as follows: The players sit in a circle and begin to count in turn, but when the number 7 or any number in which the figure 7 or any multiple of 7 is reached, they say "Buzz," instead of whatever the number may be. For instance, supposing the players have counted up to 12, the next player will say "13," the next "Buzz" because 14 is a multiple of 7 (twice 7)—the next player would then say "15" the next "16," and the next would, of course, say "Buzz" because the figure 7 occurs in the number 17. If one of the players forgets to say "Buzz" at the proper time, he is out. The game then starts over again with the remaining players, and so it continues until there is but one person remaining. If great care is taken the numbers can be counted up to 70, which, according to the rules, would, of course, be called Buzz. The numbers would then be carried on as Buzz 1, Buzz 2, etc., up to 79, but it is very seldom that this stage is reached. Try to play this game with lots of people. Have Mardi Gras party favors to give out as gifts to the winners.
