MATERIALS
- A diamond-shaped paper or fabric kite for each player
- Strong kite string, sometimes coated with a light abrasive for dueling
HOW TO PLAY
1
Launch your kite into open wind, letting out string steadily until it holds a steady position in the sky.
2
Maneuver your kite by pulling and releasing string to change its angle and height.
3
In duel play, steer your kite's line to cross and saw against an opponent's string, trying to cut it.
4
Watch for other duels happening nearby, since a stray severed kite can drift unpredictably across the sky.
5
A kite whose string is cut loses that duel and drifts away, often chased by children on the ground below.
6
The last kite still flying and attached to its line among the duelists is declared the winner.
