Maltese Għana Rhyme Duel

Two players face each other and take turns delivering short rhyming lines on a chosen topic.

Each new line must rhyme with or respond to the line just spoken by the other player.

Players keep a steady rhythm, often with a simple beat tapped or played behind them.

A player who hesitates too long or breaks the rhyme scheme loses that exchange.

The duel continues through several exchanges until one player is declared the sharper wordsmith by the audience.
