Game play
The game is played with five stones. Each stone is about the
size of an almond. Players can only use one hand to play the
game. The game has five parts or "stages".
In the first stage, the player throws the stones on the ground.
They pick up one stone and throw it upward. Before the stone
falls onto the ground, they need to pick up another stone
from the ground and then catch the one that was thrown. This
is done again until there are no stones on the ground.
The second stage is the same with the first stage except that the
player needs to pick up two stones at once before the stone
which was thrown falls down. The third and the fourth stages
are the same.
In the fifth stage, players can get points. All of the stones are
thrown upward. The player must catch as many of the stones
as they can with the back of their hand. Then, the stones they
caught are thown into the air again and the player must catch
all of them. The player gets points for how many stones they catch.
If they caught 3 stones, they get 3 points. If they caught 4 stones,
they get four points. After that, the next player does the same.
When all players have done this, the game is finished. The
person (or the team) who has a higher point wins.
Also there are several rules;
If a player is out, the next person (or team) gets the turn.
