When the plant has matured and the stems are dry and brittle, the stout, long-branched flowering stems of this plant are used to play a game.

The person with the unbroken hook is considered to be the winner. | Mahar, James Michael., 1953, Ethnobotany of the Oregon Paiutes of the Warm Springs Indian Reservation, Reed College, B.A. Thesis, page 68 |
