Gilli Danda
Also known as Dandi Biyo (Nepal), Gulli Danda (Pakistan), Tip-Cat (English name), Guti Sanda (Odia)
A bat-and-runner game using only two sticks, flick the short gilli into the air and smash it as far as possible.
How to play
Find a long stick (~2 ft danda) and a shorter stick with pointed ends (~6 inches gilli).
Dig a small hole and rest the gilli over it so one end sticks up.
The batter uses the danda to flick the raised end, sending the gilli airborne, then hits it hard to send it as far as possible.
If a fielder catches the gilli before it lands, the batter is out.
Otherwise, the fielder throws the gilli trying to hit the danda (placed across the hole).
If they hit it, the batter is out.
If they miss, the batter scores points measured by how many danda-lengths the gilli traveled.
Batter gets three chances to hit before rotating.
Keep it fair
Agree before starting how distance is measured (danda-lengths) and who calls catches, the fielder must catch cleanly with both hands and shout 'out' clearly.
