I was never coordinated enough to play jacks. I couldn't even get onesies.#7: Lollipop (lollipop) on Dec 6, 2019
I was waiting too, Teresa. What a nice representation of a three-dimensional jack, Brian. You even got the blunt thingies that kept us from sticking ourselves. And the balls were always red. I *loved* playing jacks.#8: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Dec 6, 2019
These look like they may even be worse to step on in the middle of the night than Legos.#9: Christine Freer (cfreer) on Oct 26, 2021
When I was a child jacks was played with what we called knucklebones (not really sure which bone they came from). These days you can get these made from plastic in the shape of the bones.#10: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Oct 29, 2021 [SPOILER]

On a side note, this was a short series, but I really enjoyed making it.
I thought it was going to be a car jack. Love the image
