HOW TO PLAY

On the signal, both trade light, controlled taps aimed at the shoulders or arms, never the head.

The surrounding group chants and claps a steady rhythm to keep energy high.
4
A tap that lands cleanly earns a point, called out by the group.
5
The first player to reach an agreed point total, or after a set time, is celebrated by the circle.
