Chinese Jacks

Does anybody remember Chinese Jacks? Blue just found my box of them from my childhood. I totally want some more because he spent like half an hour putting them together into a long chain, and anything that can occupy his mind and fingers for half an hour is something that I want.

I found two descriptions of how to play them and they both sound like things I used to do. If you used to play them, which method did you use?

( I did not write either of these and I did only minimal editing so don't blame me for the syntax kthx )
