Ivan Tserenov, Games with Ankle Bones's image

Description:	Ivan reminisces that in his childhood he liked to play with ankle bones. The most difficult game was knocking a row of ankle bones with other ankle bones from a distance of about 3 meters. The bones that were used for throwing were made heavy by drilling a hole inside the bone and filling it with lead. Another game involved throwing bones like you would throw a dice. The number of points depended on which side the bone fell.
