Nostalgia!
We called it a "loppfångare", a flea catcher. Don't know why.
The MASH game was interesting, it hadn't reached Sweden when I was a kid at least. I (and most girls in my school) loved fortune-telling games, we used to tell each other's fortunes with the weirdest card games. The simplest was one person asking another person yes- or no-questions, the other person would turn over a card from a deck. If the card was red the answer was yes and if black no.
Fortune telling is a guilty pleasure of mine. I absolutely do not believe in it, I'm familiar with most of the tricks involved, but I still get a thrill from having my fortune told.
