An Ancient Game of the Steppe

People played asyk a thousand years ago, when there were no phones or computers. Shepherds' children took bones left from meals and played right in the steppe, on the ground. This game is older than chess, and even grown-up warriors played it to train their eye. Now asyk is like soccer: people play it both in the yard and in competitions.
