HOW TO PLAY
1
Two teams of riders line up on horseback at opposite ends of the field.
2
A rider gallops toward the other team and throws a wooden javelin at a chosen opposing rider.
3
The targeted rider dodges the throw, then chases the thrower and throws a javelin back before they reach safety.
4
Landing a hit scores points for the throwing team; missing the target costs points instead.
5
Riders keep taking turns attacking until the agreed number of rounds ends; the team with more points wins.
