HOW TO PLAY
1

Stand a flat target stone upright at one end of a marked lane and have each player choose their own throwing stone.

2

Players take turns tossing their stone from a starting line, trying to knock the target stone over.

3

As the game progresses, later rounds require carrying the throwing stone in trickier ways, such as balanced on the back of the hand, tucked under the chin, or held between the knees, before releasing it toward the target.

4

A round is only successful if the target stone actually falls, not just gets nudged.

5

The first player to successfully complete every carrying style and topple the stone each time wins the game.
