Game of Pewter Jacks with Suede Pouch Jacks was played in early America as it had been played for over two thousand years with small sheep knucklebones. The game was known as "knucklebones" or "jackstones". Small pebbles or marbles sometimes substituted for the bones. The set includes 10 jacks made of lead-free pewter, 1 wood ball (to imitate the non-bouncing stone jack of the traditional game), 1 rubber ball and a suede pouch. Includes game instructions and history. Small parts warning: Not recommended for children under 8 years of age. |
