They could be seen sitting in a pair, gently tossing stones or flat pieces of bone in a bowl. Some pieces carrying markings of a cross, punctuation, or other geometrical shapes. At times someone would cheer as they made the right toss and could collect a large amount of points counted with maize kernels. The game known as Stidi and was popular among women and children.

The goal was rather simple, to gather as many of 100 points (or 50 points for a short game) as possible. This was done by gently tossing the stones/bones upward just enough so they could possibly turn, any falling outside of the bowl did not count. The geometrical shapes could be added or combined to count as a point, for example, punctuations could not be combined with lines, but punctuations could be combined with zig-zag patterns for five points a pair. A player could continue to toss the pieces until no pairs could be formed, then the next person took their turn. Variants of the game included a stone with a dark side, this would be placed in the bowl if a player won three tosses. Another variant called Stidi-Sep, this added a stone with a marking of a man (stick-figure) indicating that the player would need to sing a short tune in the likes of “Tossing stone, tossing stone, show me my fortune and let me go.”

Children would often play Stidi-Sep and sing songs with funny phrases. At times the elders would join in and teach them a short tune from a song to help teach the children difficult songs. It was a game of luck and greed.

Some could be found gambling turquoise, tools, or storage vessels when playing Stidi, although, it was not too common. Other more skill- and strength-based games such as Patsack or Double Ball Game where outcomes were more predictable and where the game could change midway through in comparison to the luck-based game Stidi.
