I used to love to play jax. I guess thats how you spell it. We played that game when I was young and I just found a set in the store and bought them for my kids. Hard to find good set. I can actually still play!

Oh my gosh...does that bring back memories! We played jacks all of the time! The metal ones with a good bouncing ball. Ones, twos, threes, aroung the world...wow I can't remember them all, but we played every day.

Oh yeah, i remember jax stones! I used to play it when I was like in grade school, then kinda forgot about it. Then whenever I go through my stuff years after and I discover I still have a set of jax stones we still play with it! hahah.
I guess it's a timeless game that we would pass on to the next generation.

Yes I do remember. Does that date me? :)
I loved it. I would spend a long period by myself playing it. Are they even around anymore? Videos and computers seem to be the only thing for kids nowadays.

Oh yeah. I remember playing with them. Of course the ones I had were the metal ones that they don't really sell anymore. The type that hurt when you stepped on them. Got into trouble a few times for that one because I forgot to pick them up and someone else found one.
They were fun to play though. I found some for my niece but they were plastic. It was fun to teach her how to do it although she didn't get past two at a time.

I used to play jax when I was a kid. They still sell them in stores, but you are right they are hard to find. You can usually find them in stores like Walgreens or in Walmart. I bought them for my daughter several years ago.
