Wishbone

You know how this goes: you and a friend each grab one end of a dried chicken bone and pull until the bone breaks. Whoever winds up with the larger piece (the “lucky break”) is the winner, and whoever is left with the smaller piece (the “bad break”) is the loser.

Those are the breaks.

In some households, the chicken bone is replaced with a turkey bone (or a duck bone, or a goose bone, or a gopher bone...) and both players make a wish. The winner’s wish comes true. And the loser’s wish doesn’t. Simple.

Or sometimes no wish is permitted until after the bone is broken, thus preventing one player from undue shame and disappointment. What happens if the wishbone (called the “merry-thought bone” in some parts of the world) breaks evenly?

It is said that the ancient Etruscans consulted such “hen oracles” to settle disputes, pick spouses or business partners, determine important military tactics, and even predict the future! Now you can, too!

In this version, we keep it simple: pull the bone until it breaks. If you get the big piece, you win; small piece, you lose. Take your time to savor the delicate cracking and crunching of the bone as it stretches to the breaking point. After it splits in two and the matter is settled, you don’t have to wait to cook additional fowl and cure another wishbone. You’ve got Wishbone! Just touch the screen and start again.

Strange
Kind of weird

I got his game after reading all of the reviews and it is strange. All you do is drag one side and that's what I did. Then I had to do the other side and it worked. I did both sides and it worked. I did both sides again the same way and it did the other side. This is really just a game of luck. So I wouldn't recommend this game.


I like the sound effects!

As you pull the wishbone apart, it makes a cracking noise. It's pretty cool!

I really don't think people who think this app is stupid ever pulled a real wishbone apart. >< It does what it says. It's a virtual wishbone used in deciding who'll win and who'll use, much like flipping a coin.
