Played by American hobos since the invention of railroads brought the vagrants of the United States into frequent social contact, there grew a need for a non-violent way for one hobo to assert social rank over another.

Physical contact is not allowed.

The rules of this game were formally codified in 2002 by Eric Foley, who has since popularized it with the youth of the nation.
