I prefer the name "Blind Goat" (Drawing by Me!)
To my great surprise, I first discovered today that this game is NOT called "cobra-cega" (blind snake, in a literal translation) as I thought it was, but "cabra-cega" (blind goat). In English, however, it is known as Blind Man's Buff. How the hell did a goat got into the story to be present in the Portuguese name, God only knows.
Anyway, this game was allegedly invented in 500 b.C., during the Zhou Dinasty in China. In the Middle Age and in the Victorian Era, it was considered an aristocratic amusement: the House of Tudor (which reigned over England between 1485 and 1603), used such games as an option for recreation.

Oh, by the way, I know I haven't been posting many drawings or pictures made by me. That's because I've been very unorganized with my daily tasks, and not much time is left for me to draw or photograph something nice to put here. But I'll try my best to change it from now on, so stay tunned in 365 DOL!
