HOW TO PLAY
1

Scatter all five pouches on a flat surface or floor in front of the seated player.

2

Toss one pouch into the air, quickly pick up another from the ground, and catch the falling pouch in the same hand.

3

Continue through a set sequence of pickups, such as one at a time, then two at once, gradually increasing the difficulty.

4

A dropped pouch or a mistimed catch ends the turn and passes play to the next player.

5

Players who complete the full sequence without error move on to trickier variations, such as catching pouches on the back of the hand.
