Handgame or Stickgame, originated as a Native American guessing and gambling game.
Played by two teams, a hiding team and a guessing team. The game object is for the guessing team to guess (bet) on what position the hiding team have hidden the bones.

Description
Each of the hiding team hold two bones, consisting of one plain and one marked bone.The teams sit opposite one another; The two members of the "hiding" team take a pair of bones and hide them, one in each hand,
the nominated Captain' of the guessing team, then must guess the pattern of the hidden bones. Since each hider holds one plain and one striped bone in each hand, there are initially four possibilities: both to the left, both to the right, both inside, or both outside.

Dedication
For each hider miss guessed, the calling team must turn over one stick to the hiders . If a hider is guessed he must surrender the guessed bones to the calling side. The hiding team continues hiding until both pairs of bones have been guessed and surrendered. The teams then reverse roles, and the game continues in this manner until one team holds all the betting stakes.
