"Knucklebones" là xương đốt, xương khuỷu hoặc hình khối nhỏ bằng gỗ, xương, nhựa... để chơi game.

Ví dụ
With captivation often comes frustration (thất vọng), especially at the repetition (lặp lại) of what seems like a simple task. Throw a knucklebone, pick up another, catch the original knucklebone.

Mechanical design engineer (kỹ sư thiết kế cơ khí) Mikhail Tikh learned about knucklebones as a form of dice from a Reddit thread, and his interest was piqued (kích thích). A fan of ancient history, he decided to look into obtaining a set of knucklebones, but discovered that they were pretty elusive; not many people use the ancient form of dice anymore.

And then were discovered, they say, the ways of playing with the dice and the knucklebones and the ball … These games they invented as a resource against the famine (nạn đói)… on one of the days they would play games all the time in order that they might not feel the want of food, and on the next they ceased from their games and had food: and thus they went on for 18 years.
