The Game of Jacks!

Remember this old game. The aim of this game is to collect as many jacks as possible during a single throw in the air of the ball. For the first 10 minutes of the game Moira and I couldn’t even get one Jack. Eventually I made it to three Jacks!

This was a harder game than I remembered. The game of jacks is also known as jack stones, jack rocks, five stones, onesies and knucklebones. It originated hundreds of years ago in ancient Rome.
