According to the Maidu website, their main game was a sort of a guessing game usings sets of marked and unmarked bones. Players had to guess what combination of bones would come up.
As far as other entertainment goes, they had wooden flutes, musical bows and various kinds of rattles for use in making music to accompany dances.
For food, they ate pretty much anything except for a few things like dogs, coyotes, and buzzards that were forbidden. They ate most other kinds of animal life. They did not practice agriculture, but did make extensive use of acorns.
