Knucklebones - In ancient Greece, knucklebones from the carpus of sheep were thrown to predict the future. They are also used as dice for gambling and more often to play what we today call knucklebones. It seems more likely that this game originated in ancient Asia. The game is also traditional in almost all parts of the world. The rules of the game The game consists of five knucklebones and is played in groups. We try to pick up the knucklebones from the ground, one after the other, with the hand, throwing the fifth knucklebone into the air and catching it before it falls to the ground.
