This game is known worldwide all over the world its known as (Bones, knucklebones, bunnock and many more names but a few for now. There are different variations of the game for example (some pieces play with double 6s,) and some play the Chinese way which are Chinese rules. The Chinese sets can have up to 32 tiles they have their own rules that are different from American culture.  Even now the game is still very competitive around the world it’s a combination of skills and luck. The way I’ve seen the game played when I was younger the adults would gather around the table to play but overall, many will play and few win.
