Darkey Ten Pins

1–0 players · 0 min

A throwing game from an age of racist Americana.

The game features ten 6-1/2 inch heavy cardboard lithographed figures on wood bases. The figures are made to look like stereotypical african-american humans caricatures of the period. In the game, players roll balls at the figures, and whoever hits the most wins.

Sold as an novelty game, it was first published in 1914.
