A innocent, yet twisted kid's role playing game of master and servant; based on the book & movie Roots and named after Toby Kuntekente -a slave from Roots. The game is a twist of other popular kids games"Simon Says",“Mother May I?", and "Cops and Robbers." Players improve listening skills and reinforce the use of manners. GAME LAYOUT & OBJECTIVES: One player is the designated as the "Master" and other players are the "slaves" or "Tobies". The Master's objective is to keep his "Tobies" from escaping, under control, and keep them working. The Master uses a system of reward and punishment within reason to keep the "Tobies" on task. The Toby's objective is to primarily to avoid punishment or escape when an opportunity arises. Players take turns being the Master and the Toby/s. STRATEGY AND TACTICS: For the "Tobies", being polite and saying, "Yes, Master" and trying to be on the Master's good side-is helpful. Be a kind Master, because you want the new Master to be kind to you when you become a "Toby". Modifications may also be used in any combination to make the game easier or harder for different age groups. ORIGIN: The game originated in Minnesota in the late 1970's and early 1980's, when the Roots aired on TV.
John: I'm bored. You guys wanna play Risk or Monopoly?
Sally: No, I wanna play "Tobies".
Bobby: Me, too!
John: Okay, fine but I get to be the Master.

Tories is the colloquial word for supporters of the conservative party in the UK. Historically, the word Tory has also been used for those who support the British monarchy.

It is derived from the middle irish word "tóraidhe", meaning outlaw, robber and pursuit.

Its use is considered abusive, specially if it's used by opponents of the party.
They have been lifelong tories, so it's no suprise they supports the conservatives.
