jackses


this Sunday I was with my family at my grandmother's house and we started playing jackses, but we had some doubts concerning the rules. For those who don't know the game here's a summary:

by the way this is a game that falls into the traditional category in Costa Rica

jackses are little star like figurines

1.You need a comfortable space, tipically the floor!
2. you throw the jackses on the floor and the you bounce a little rubber ball on the floor, while this one is on the air you pick up each one of the jacjses one by one, with out moving any of the others or letting the ball bounce more than once.

3. you pick up the jackses by sets of 2, tehn 4, 5, .... and so on, until you reach 10. of course if you pick up a set of six, there are only 4 left...

4. you can only use one hand


so thats the summay


I use the picture I found at this website where you can find more traditional games, it's in Spanish
