HOW TO PLAY
1

Scatter the five stones on a flat surface.

2

Toss one stone into the air, pick up another from the ground, and catch the falling stone in the same hand before it lands.

3

Repeat until every stone has been picked up individually, then move to more advanced stages picking up two or more stones per toss.

4

Add extra flourishes for higher stages, such as clapping once or flipping your hand over before catching.

5

If a toss is dropped or fumbled, your turn passes to the next player; whoever completes the most stages wins.
