Question for December 18, 2009

X is an indoor game played a a set of discs (called Y) lying on a flat surface. Players use a larger disc to press down on the smaller disc and send it into flight, the objective being to land the disc on the opponent's disc, and ultimately inside a pot or cup. While played by both adults and children initially, it later came to be regarded as a children's game, but made a comeback in 1955 in Cambridge University. Today, the game is run by the English Association for X and the North American Association for X. In modern day usage, the name of this game has come to be associated with pointless activity. Identify the game.
