HOW TO PLAY
1

Rest the short tapered stick across a small stone or brick so one end tips upward off the ground.

2

Strike the raised end sharply with the longer stick to flip the short stick into the air.

3

While it is airborne, hit the short stick again with the longer stick to drive it as far as possible.

4

Opposing players may try to catch the short stick in the air to end the striker's turn.

5

If it lands uncaught, count the distance in lengths of the longer stick and add it to the striker's score.

6

After an agreed number of turns each, the player with the highest total score wins.
