Sometimes with an auction of the item from a pervious reveal left as lost, funds, if raised to the shire exchequer. Normally only after the items were offer to the attendances, who had forgot they had not lost anything. If yard is adequate pick up fighting would happen. Maybe games like horseshoes croquet, darts, and blind mans bluff would be played.
