All the articles used in this game except the mats should be made in camp.
_Directions_ .-- An uneven number of players is required for this game.

The mat is laid east and west; at a little distance back to the northwest the small mat is placed and on it are put the twenty tally-sticks.

In a line with the small mats to the northeast is laid the board around which the four singers and drummers sit.

The bundle of excelsior, or whatever material is used in its place, together with the nine disks, is put at the western end of the mat; before these is the place for the player who is to hide the disks.

On the northern and southern side of the mat sit the players who are to guess where the "chief" is hidden, three or four on a side.
