Hi, Bert

That's the same game, except we used a ball to throw in the air, I think we let it bounce the first time to make it easier... then did it again without the bounce.

Saw a set of jacks for sale in a shop a while back (the old metal kind), they were in a display marked old (historic) games.... and were sitting beside spinning tops and marbles. Does that make me old.. I played with all 3............
