Bio/Historical Note: Bunnock (also known as the Game of Bones, or just simply Bones) is a throwing game that is thought to have Russian origin. The aim of Bunnock is to throw bones at an opposition’s rows of bones, trying to do so in the fewest throws possible. The team that knocks down all of the oppositions bones first, wins. Bunnock is played in teams of four, which must contain at least one person of the opposite sex. Persons of any age may participate. Bunnock can be played with actual bones, however most modern sets use a resin replica version. The exact origin of Bunnock is unclear, however the most widely accepted version is that Bunnock originated in Northern Siberia during the early 19th century. It is thought to of been created by Russian soldiers that needed to entertain themselves whilst posted in remote areas of Siberia. These soldiers had an abundance of horse anklebones of which they found out they could stand upright. The game of Bones Bunnock has been made famous by the World Championship Bunnock Tournament held annually in Macklin, Saskatchewan, each August.
