A game consists of 128 long, thin wooden or bone pieces. Each piece has an animal carved onto it, such as a lion, tiger, deer, rabbit, or bird. Each piece also has a specific number of points assigned to it. The game includes various pieces with different point values. For instance, there is only one lion worth 64 points, while there are 64 bird pieces, each worth one point. Players roll dice, and when they roll a four, they collect a piece. At the end, the player with the highest number of points wins.
