The moccasin game is a gambling game once played by most Native American tribes in North America. In the game, one player hides an object (traditionally a pebble, but more recently sometimes an old bullet or a ball) in one of several moccasins, but in such a way that the other player cannot easily see which moccasin it is in; that player then has to guess which moccasin contains the object.
The moccasin game was played with two teams, four moccasins, and a stone. One team would hide the stone in one of their moccasins while the other team was not looking. Then, the other team would try to find the moccasin with the stone. [2] The sep game was a way to get children to fall asleep.
