we played "for hours and hours" a game called 500. We played with a 16

Clincher--16 inches of hard rock in the shape of a ball.
I don't know if sixteen inches is an accurate circumference
measurement of the Chicago "Clincher" balls. The diameter appears to
be closer to seven inches. They're pretty substantial. And hard as a
rock when new.
