HOW TO PLAY
1
Two players interlock the four fingers of one hand together, leaving both thumbs free and upright.
2
On a starting count, each player tries to pin the opponent's thumb down using their own thumb.
3
A pin counts once a thumb is held flat under the opponent's thumb for a full second or two.
4
Players can dodge and feint with quick thumb movements to avoid being trapped while looking for an opening.
5
Play best of three or five rounds, switching which hand is used between matches to keep it fair.
