This game was played by hiding four bullets under four moccasins. One of the bullets were marked. "Striking sticks," made of oak were used to "make guesses". Twenty counting sticks, made of ironwood, were also used. Four men (two sets of partners) usually play, but sometimes more played. One partner hid the bullets while the other partner sang and pounded a drum while one of the opponent partners guessed the location of the marked bullet.

There are numerous variants of the game. For example, the Potawatomi used just one bullet with four moccasins.
