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.
