What did the Tillamook tribe play for games?

This is a game played with two pointed sticks about six inches in length and a small ivory ball. The game board is a flat square of beaten ground about nine feet on a side with two long furrows made down its center. The square itself is divided from either end into thirds, and the middle row of square is made into ten divisions to represent the counts.

Six or eight players divide themselves into two parties and one or the other side starts from the end marked "4" and plays to the end marked "6," their score being added as they pass them. The object is to play all the way through or to have the highest count when the ball is sent out bounds. The ball is placed on the spot on one end from where the play begins, and the starting player holds it securely between the two ends of the pointed sticks and hurls it along the course. Sometimes instead of tossing the ball, it will be propelled to the desired distance by rolling it along between the sticks at the end.

The opposing side then gets a chance, beginning from where the ball has stopped. If the ball runs past the opposing side, the first party scores "4." This constitutes the first division. The second division will be where it next stops, and so on, until the ball is played beyond the final "6." The other side then commences from the end where the ball is played beyond "6" and works down toward their "4." The distance between is twenty-seven spaces, and the side first reaching the count of twenty-seven or its equivalent has won.
