Toys And Pastimes From Days Gone By

[sanderson08]

so everyone to be back so soon still stuck on one more answer
a game for concentration but best excluded . 8 letters . / could this be charades or patience
sorry to be such a pain in the neck

[davetuc]

Draughts (as in excluder)?

[boxtops]

it says "best excluded" which suggests that something signifying "best" has to be taken out of the answer. Patience sounds good.

[boxtops]

^ so does Draughts, by that logic.

[davetuc]

It's draughts!

[sanderson08]

thank you davetuc and boxtops / seeing as its for such a good cause will buy another quiz sheet and put patience on one and draughts on the other thank you everyone once again
