HOW TO PLAY
1

Two players sit facing each other on the ground and place the sides of their hands together, stacking a low barrier called the "tinik" or thorn.

2

Other players take turns jumping over the barrier without touching it.

3

After each successful round, the seated players raise the barrier higher by stacking a hand, then a foot, then a fist, and so on.

4

A jumper who touches the barrier or fails to clear it is out, or per house rules becomes one of the seated barrier-makers.

5

The player who clears the highest barrier height wins.
