jackstone
Six-pronged game piece
Jackstone is a small object used in the game of jacks—traditionally a six-pointed metal or plastic piece, though originally a knucklebone or pebble.
The game involves tossing a ball and scooping up jackstones before the ball bounces twice.
In the plural, jackstones often names the game itself: We played jackstones on the sidewalk.
