The game includes one (broken) swoggle, with a ruler on one edge (not inches, the major markings are 12-13 mm apart). The swoggle is used to measure which player's discs are closest to the target, called a jack.

The metal jack (5/8" in diameter, 1/4" thick), perhaps made of lead, is marked "SQUAILS" around the top of one side and depicts an eagle with wings spread along with a crown above it. The back of the jack is marked "D 6".

Two sets of wooden discs (1 7/8" in diameter, 1/4" high, with a taper from the bottom to the top of 3/8") are included. One set has a shiny natural wooden finish, and the other a shiny dark wooden finish. Mounted at top of each disc is a colored, textured, shiny round piece of paper. Each set has 2 each of green, yellow, red, and black.
