Knucklebones also known as hucklebones, dibs, dibstones, jackstones, chuckstones or five-stones, is a game of very ancient origin, played with five small objects.

3. Repeat it 3 times until you got 5 bids/stones in your hand.
2. Tosses one into the air. Then you grab two dibs/stones. Do it twice. When finish, you will have 5 bids/stones in your hand.
3. Tosses one into the air. Then you grab three dibs/stones. You will have one dibs/stone left. Get the last one. When finish, you will have 5 bids/stones in your hand.
