Hi!

This game with a bone, reminds me of "bikkelen"  a game played with cow
vertebrates, or pieces of bone.

Thanks, Wim.  I checked it out on the web and can't think of a similar
game in Northern Germany.  Maybe others can.  Might the reason be that
the game is supposed to be Roman by origin, and the Romans never
conquered most of Germania?

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
