Bunnock

Historically bunnock was played with the ankle bones of horses; however, most modern sets use a resin replica version.

It is thought to have been a version of the Mongolian game shagai, created by Russian soldiers that needed to entertain themselves while posted in remote areas of Siberia.

Most of these immigrants would settle in Saskatchewan, in which Bunnock became a popular farmyard pastime, farmers using their own horse anklebones.

People living around Macklin, Saskatchewan caught word and also wanted sets.

The objective of the game is to knock down your opponents bones, starting with the guards, after this you are able to hit the soldiers in any order.

[6] Bunnock has become highly popular in the small town of Macklin, Saskatchewan located near the Alberta-Saskatchewan border.

Macklin hosts the World Bunnock Championships every August in where the town nearly doubles in size.
