Samir, the Seller of Dreams, I realized, could read such cryptic tablets of the inner mind as a false prophet could read tea leaves or knucklebones.

Then I’d fish or challenge followers to a game of knucklebones.

Videos on the Harvard Semitic Museum’s website, including a simplified version suitable for children, explain how players would move their game pieces depending on the throws of astragaloi or knucklebones.

Queen Wealhtheow paced the corridors, wringing her white hands until the knucklebones nearly pierced the delicate flesh.

If using knucklebones, simmer overnight, nine to 15 hours, so the knucklebones have sufficient time to break down.
