What is "Aunt Sally"?

Aunt Sally is a traditional pub game from England that dates back to the 17th century and was originally played at fairs. The game involves throwing wooden sticks, called "dolls," at a wooden peg, known as "the dolly," which is placed on a stand. The aim is to knock the dolly off without hitting the stand. Each successful hit scores a point, and players take turns to compete. Aunt Sally requires skill, precision, and practice to master the throws. It remains a popular social game in some regions.
