Hand-in-cap is an old English trading game and the term itself is the origin of the modern word handicap. In this game, two players want to trade possessions.

If both players disagree, the items are not traded, and the umpire collects the forfeit. If one player agrees and the other does not, the items are not traded, and the player who agreed to the valuation collects th
