Lumberjack

Boscaiolo

Participants: 2 male pages.

The Quarter that lands on this square competes against another Quarter in cutting a log of wood.

  • The cutting is carried out by two pages per Quarter, who position the logs and sawhorses in the area in front of the spectator stands.
  • Before the judges signal the start, a single notch may be made in the log with one forward and one backward stroke of the saw.
  • The Quarter that first saws all the way through the log — without splitting it and without forcing the cut by hand — wins.
  • The challenged Quarter gets to choose which log to cut first.
  • A Quarter whose saw breaks automatically loses the game.
  • The end of each Quarter's cut is signalled by a judge raising a flag.
  • Saws must be built with a wooden bow and a twisted-rope tensioner: saws with an iron bow are not allowed.
  • If the challenging Quarter wins, it gains the points scored with the dice; if it loses, it goes back to the square from which it rolled the dice.
