« Une variante du bilboquet est constitué d’un ensemble de brindilles de cèdre enroulé dans de la ficelle. À l’extrémité proximale se retrouve attachée une longueur de ficelle à laquelle est attachée une épingle de bois se terminant en pointe à son extrémité distale (fig. 29a). Ce jeu était utilisé comme jeu d’argent et simplement comme divertissement. C’était aussi associé à l’augmentation de la chance pour la chasse (Speck, 1935, pp. 198-199; Tanner, 1979, p. 129). »

« A variant of the cup and pin game consists of a bundle of cedar twigs wrapped in string. At the proximal end is fastened a length of twine to which is attached a wooden pin which tapers to a point at its distal end (fig. 29a). This game was used in gambling and simply for amusement. It also was associated with increasing luck in hunting (Speck, 1935, pp. 198-199; Tanner, 1979, p. 129). »
