Type-out the instructions on how to play and I'll seriously consider buying! :D ;D ;)

I'm at my mother in laws house for the weekend so I don't have the instructions in front of me, but here is a synopsis I could find online that tells you how to play...Basically, you link the jacks together in a bundle of about 5 or so, then toss them up in the air and let them fall on the floor within a certain size circle (like a circle the size you would use to shoot marbles.
All your jacks were supposed to be same size. More links meant larger jacks which were easier to pick up; fewer meant smaller and harder to do. Anyway, you'd toss 1 in the air and pick up one other jack. Next toss you'd grab another jack, while still holding the first jack you picked up, and build up until none but 1 left (which is the one you are tossing each time) You're supposed to get all the other jacks in your hand after the last toss w/o dropping them. The next round you pick up 2 at a time until their all gone, then on to three-sies, four-sies, etc. It was all the rage where I lived in the early 80's.
On Monday I can email you the complete directions, if this doesn't help...
