Method of playing: First a red cocoon is placed in the centre circle and white and black cocoons are arranged around it. Each player has to try to throw his ball by hitting the striker with any one finger. The first strike taker plays with the white cocoon and the opponent with the black cocoon. As long as a player legally throws his cocoon or red cocoon into the hole, it is his turn to play. Otherwise, the opposing player gets a chance of striking. In this way, he or she who throws all his or her cocoons first will win the gift.

  • The winning team will receive points for each coin located on the board.

  • One game is 29 points.

  • Winning or losing in three or five games can be determined.

  • The toss decides who will get the chance to hit the ball with the help of the striker first.

  • If it is 24 points, no more points will be added to the red cocoon. They will be able to drop a cocoon and return the red cocoon.

  • Can't throw the red cocoon at first. After throwing the red cocoon, you must throw another cocoon. Otherwise, the red cocoon will come upon the board again.

  • If one of your cocoons falls with the red cocoon during the first hit, it will be considered that the red cocoon has been thrown after one cocoon.

  • If only the red cocoon falls in the first hit, he will get a chance to throw his cocoon. If you fail, the red cocoon will come upon the board.
