HOW TO PLAY
1

Hang the clay pot from a rope at head height, or set it on a raised stand in an open area.

2

Blindfold each player and spin them gently a few times to disorient their sense of direction.

3

Give the player a stick and let them walk toward where they believe the pot hangs, guided only by shouted directions from the group.

4

The player swings the stick when they think they've reached the pot, trying to strike it and break it open.

5

If they miss, the next player takes a turn; whoever successfully cracks the pot wins, and everyone shares in whatever spills out.
