« 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). » Vanstone, James W. "The Speck Collection of Montagnais Material Culture from the Lower St. Lawrence Drainage, Quebec." Fieldiana. Anthropology. New Series, No. 5 (October 29, 1982), p.19, fig 29a (p.57).
