HOW TO PLAY
1

Two teammates stand on opposite sides of the mortar, each holding a pestle.

2

Partners take turns striking down into the mortar in a steady alternating rhythm, never striking at the same time.

3

Keep the alternating beat going for a set number of rounds without missing a turn or colliding pestles.

4

Swap in fresh partners after each set so several pairs get a turn keeping the rhythm.

5

The pair that keeps the longest unbroken alternating rhythm wins.
