MATERIALS
- A set of small knucklebones or similarly shaped small objects
HOW TO PLAY
1
Scatter a handful of knucklebones on the ground or floor in front of the players.
2
On your turn, toss one bone into the air and quickly try to grab one or more bones from the pile before catching the tossed one again.
3
Each successful catch lets you keep going, gradually collecting more bones from the pile in the same turn.
4
Different named throws use the bones' four distinct resting sides to set target patterns players must match before collecting.
5
A turn ends the moment you drop the tossed bone or fail to grab as planned, and the player who collects the most bones over several rounds wins.
