🛠️ Materials Required for the Game
- A long, flat wooden stick (or a thin rolling pin/stick)
- 2 hoops
- Many table tennis (ping-pong) balls
- A flat and wide table
🎯 How to Play the Game?
- Preparation of the Play Area: Two hoops are placed side by side on a large table. These circles represent the "zones" of the players.
- Distribution of Balls: At the beginning of the game, ping-pong balls are distributed equally or randomly into two circles.
- Basic Rule: The player has to move the balls by holding the long stick in his hand perpendicular (or slightly inclined) to the table. It is strictly forbidden to touch the balls with hands.
- Goal and Competition: The aim is to move the balls from one's own hoop to the other hoop (or vice versa according to the rules of the game) as quickly as possible by sliding or directing the balls with the tip of the stick. Keeping the balance of the stick and controlling the slippery ping-pong balls is the most challenging part of the game.
- Determining the Winner: The first person to pass the most balls to the other side or finish all the balls in their own area within the specified time (for example 1 minute) wins the game.
