Knucklebones is an ancient game of luck, played with five bits, traditionally the knuckle bones of a baby yak, which one throws up then catches in a hopefully awkward position. The loser is the last to successfully complete a prescribed series of wobbles, the simplest of which consists in tossing one, picking two or three off the blind girl's skirt, while her ankles point toward the sky, and so on, until all five have been double pucked. Triple points for catching four on the back of the hand. Different shakes have distinctive names, such as riding the milk cow, potty in the pool, and grandma cleans then stable.
