HOW TO PLAY
1

Players sit cross-legged in a circle around a central bowl prop.

2

The first player claps three times, then passes a cup to their neighbor with a respectful nod.

3

Each new receiver must repeat the claps of everyone before them, then add their own before passing on.

4

A player who forgets a step in the sequence starts a new chain from themselves.

5

See how long a chain the group can build before someone breaks it.
