6 or more players, aged 5 and up, played indoors and
outdoors.
Equipment needed for this game are 7 sticks or stones which can
be stacked into a tower, and a tennis-sized ball.
The game begins as one team throws the ball at the tower from
about 7-10 meters away, trying to knock it over. If the thrower
misses the tower, he is out for the rest of the game, and another
player from the same team tries to throw.
If the tower is knocked over, the opposite team must retrieve
the ball, and throw it at the first team, trying to hit then all
out of the game one at a time. In the meantime the team which
knocked over the tower must reconstruct it, avoiding the ball, of
course. The second team may not run with the ball, but may only
pass it around, seeking better position to hit out of the first
team. This continues until either the first team is eliminated or
the tower is reconstructed, whereupon the team cries Pitto and gets
one point.
After this, the teams change positions, and the game may be
played for as many rounds as desired.
