That said, it’s not uncommon to find plastic jacks marketed to children. The best quality ones are always made from metal, usually with one silver set and one gold set. Jacks are the small, star-like tokens that give the game its name. Still, if you can’t find anyone to play with you, that’s OK too because the other great thing about Jacks is that it’s just as much fun as a solo pursuit.
Many best-selling Jacks sets will include two sets of jacks and multiple balls, making it easier to get a multiplayer game underway. One of the great things about learning how to play Jacks is that you don’t need much to get started, just a set of jacks, a ball, and a couple of friends.
