In early America a game called "Knucklebones" was played. This was the predecessor of what we know today as "Jacks." Knucklebones (or "dibs" or "fivestones") was played using small sheep bones; later a non-bouncing or leather ball was introduced into the game.

Our game includes five plastic "bones," a wooden ball, and instructions on how to play. Not recommended for children under three years of age.
