Satoliya
Also known as Seven Stones (English name), Lagori / Pitthu (other Indian regions), Pitto Garam / Pithu Garam (Pakistan)
Stack seven flat stones, knock them down with a throw, then rebuild the tower before the other team tags everyone out, using only a ball of scrunched cloth.
How to play
Stack seven flat stones or pebbles in a column in the centre of a circle.
Divide into two teams: throwers and guards.
Throwers take turns throwing a soft cloth ball (or any improvised ball) to knock the stack down from a set distance.
Once knocked, the throwers try to rebuild the stack while the guards snatch the ball and tap throwers below the knee with it to eliminate them.
If any thrower rebuilds the full stack and shouts 'Satoliya!' before being tagged out, the throwing team wins that round.
If all throwers are tagged before rebuilding, the guarding team wins.
Swap roles each round.
Keep it fair
Taps must be below the knee, no body hits. Appoint a neutral judge for close calls rather than letting both teams shout at once.
