MATERIALS
- A hard seed pod, such as a flamboyan or maga seed, threaded onto a short knotted string per player
HOW TO PLAY
1
Each player threads their hardened seed onto a knotted string, leaving enough length to swing it comfortably.
2
Players take turns holding their seed still while the other swings their own seed to strike it directly.
3
After a strike, players switch, alternating who holds still and who swings.
4
Inspect both seeds after every few strikes for cracks or chips.
5
The first seed to crack, split, or break loses; its owner is out.
6
The winning seed, now a "gallito" with a win to its name, can be challenged by the next player in line.
