The game is a hybrid between two games and systems. Sheep-bones are traditionally used to predict the future, game of destiny, the bones being thrown by random. Chess is the contrary - a game of tactics, controlling the further moves and predicting with rationality. In the Georgian language, there are many sayings in connection with sheep-bones- to throw a bone for somebody means to please someone; red bone implies to try to be something special.
