HOW TO PLAY
1

Build a simple diamond-shaped kite from thin sticks and lightweight paper or plastic, tying on a tail for stability.

2

Launch kites into open air, giving each flyer enough space to maneuver without tangling right away.

3

Once kites are steady in the air, flyers try to maneuver their string against an opponent's string, aiming to cross and tangle it.

4

Work the kite in loops and dips to try to pull the opponent's kite off balance or force their string to slip free first.

5

A flyer is out if their kite is pulled from their hands, crashes, or their string comes loose.

6

The last flyer with their kite still under control wins the duel.
