Those spiky things are called jacks and are a child's game.
The idea is to spin them on a point or toss them while bouncing a ball or 
such.
The problem is that four (not three) equatorial points should have the 
little spherical protrusions.
See e.g. http://www.blog.speculist.com/archives/jacks.jpeg
So with jacks and jack-in-a-box all you need is a jack-o-lantern to get 
really scary.
