HOW TO PLAY
1

One pair of players stacks seven flat stones into a tower at the center of an open playing area.

2

The other pair stands about ten meters back and takes turns throwing the ball to knock the stack down.

3

Once the stack falls, the throwing pair tries to hit the stacking pair with the ball before they can rebuild the tower.

4

The stacking pair scatters, dodges, and shields each other while racing to restack all seven stones.

5

If the stacking pair rebuilds the tower without being hit, they score a point and stack again; if they are hit, the two pairs swap roles.

6

The pair with the most successful rebuilds after an agreed number of rounds wins the game.
