Diolithos is a collaborative game with two pebbles. It is loosely based on the millennia-old tradition of (competitive) pebble and bone games, called astragaloi in Greek. It still occurs worldwide today. Diolithos is played in pairs by letting the pebbles fly back and forth between the partners as often as possible without that they fall. It can also be played in groups. The play has a meditative pull and improves concentration, posture and motor skills.

Diolithos consists of the pebbles, a Greek ceramic yogurt cup, a turned wooden lid made of different woods, a seaweed pillow and an essay on the history of pebbles.
