8-15 players, aged 5-12, played indoors.

Equipment needed for this game is 12 little sticks, and a 30x30 cm board to arrange them on. The board must sit on a brick or stone, which acts like a teeter-totter.

The game is like hide and seek as one player is it and the others hide. One player starts the game by stepping on the edge of the board, flipping the sticks into the air. While all of the players hide, the player who is it must pick up the sticks and arrange them on the board.

Once the board is ready, the it may set off to look for the hidden players. If the it finds a player he must run back and touch the board, calling out the players name.

Hidden players may get in home-free by upsetting the board again before the it can reach it. The game continues until the last player is caught, or home free. The first player that was caught becomes it for the next game.
