The rules
How to play
1
Two players each place a target stone on the ground a few metres apart.
2
Taking turns from behind a line, each throws smaller stones to try to hit the other player's target.
3
First to hit the opponent's stone an agreed number of times wins.
4
Stand well to the side when it's not your turn.
Keep it fair
Throwing-line creep is the classic argument, scratch the line deep and agree feet stay behind it before the first throw.
