This game was played by almost all of the southeastern Indians, with some variation. All of the games made use of a smooth stone disk, usually with concave sides, and two long slender poles were used. Usually only two persons played at one time, but the onlookers wagered on the game. The idea of the game was to start the stone disk rolling along a smooth piece of ground, after which the two players threw their poles after it, with the idea of either hitting the stone, or coming as near as possible to it, when the stone came to a rest. The sticks were about eight feet long, and greased with bear grease, and had several marks along their length. One player rolled the stone, and the both of the players threw their poles after the rolling stone. When the stone stopped nearest to one of the players' poles, the count was according to the marks on the pole. The stones were considered very valuable, because they were very difficult to make out of the hard quartz. They were very perfectly finished, and never belonged to individual persons, but to the town as a whole. Adair called this game 'running hard labor." He said the players would keep running at this game most of the day, staking everything they had on the game.
