    You mean like these?
    I never heard of this game before.
    I had a glimpse on a YouTube vid to see what it's all about.
    I found one on Trimble, converted it into .obj
    There's no ball, but that will not give you any trouble, I suppose.

    Did the original readme give permission to convert and redistribute? If not you will need to take the OBJ version down.

    @Richard:

    There is never a 'read-me' with Trimble models.
    Models that are not associated with a geolocation (e.g. 3D models of everyday objects) are royalty-free.
    The models may be reproduced, modified, translated, published, publicly displayed and distributed.
    I tried to track down the creator anyway, but without success.

    Ah jacks.

    Like Lego blocks they're basically caltrops for kids. Can't count the number of times I've had one embedded in my foot while walking to the bathroom late at night.

    Never heard of them!?! You must be a youngling. And, if you're not, then I am really showing my age. ;)

    Or else you remember when we called it "Jackie five stones" or even just FIvestones, and didn't need any fancy sets of jacks to play.
