Is there a shorter name for this?  The shape is that of a component in a
children's game, the name of which I forget.

That's the one!  I can't remember what we did with them (I mean when we
played).

Ah, yes!  Knucklebones is what we called it, although that game was
usually played with pieces of plastic with a shape that could have had
some resemblance to a bone. Maybe it was played originally with real
bones.  "He's got his grandfather's fingers"
