Six prongs are on each "jack" in the games of Jacks. Ten jacks and one ball per game set.
To play the game of Jacks, players must scatter jacks on a flat surface and toss a small ball in the air. The player must pick up a certain number of jacks before catching the ball. The number of jacks to pick up increases with each round. The player who successfully picks up all the jacks wins the game.
