Game of Jacks in Leather or Cotton Pouch

Traditional Game of Jacks, Cast in Lead-Free Pewter, Cotton or Leather Pouch

The Game of Jacks is a classic early American skill game with roots in much earlier times. Before the advent of rubber balls, players used small animal bones or stones, tossing one piece—the “jack”—into the air while quickly completing a sequence of moves before catching it again. Simple in concept yet challenging to master, the game builds coordination, timing, and dexterity.

Our Game of Jacks set is handcrafted in Vermont and includes 10 large jacks cast in lead-free pewter. To reflect both historic and modern play styles, the set also includes a wood ball (for traditional, non-bouncing play) and a rubber bouncy ball for contemporary gameplay.

Set Includes:

• 10 lead-free pewter jacks
• 1 wood ball (historic-style play)
• 1 rubber bouncy ball
• History and instruction card
• Choice of leather or cotton drawstring pouch

Ideal for families and educational programs, this set brings a timeless game into the present with both authenticity and versatility.
