HOW TO PLAY
1

A lead performer demonstrates a slow, controlled sequence of sword-arm movements and stances.

2

Other players watch closely, then attempt to mirror the exact sequence.

3

The leader adds one new movement each round, building the routine longer.

4

Anyone who breaks form or forgets the order drops out of that round.

5

The performer who mirrors the longest sequence correctly wins.
