Vasiliy Sukhotaev, Kalmyk Games

Description

Vasiliy says the following: In my childhood I played with my brothers various games involving ankle bones. Our grandmother had a big bag where she kept ankle bones of sheep, goats, cows, camels, and horses. She taught us how to play with the bones. She also knew yas kemyalgn (reciting the signs of the twenty-fifth vertebra of a sheep bone) which I have already forgotten.
