Pithoo Garam

Pittu Garam is a game Seven Stones and ball. It is a traditional South Asian game which is played between two teams. The game requires a ball and set of seven stones to form a small tower stack up set of seven stones. The aim of the game is to hit the tower to break it and then rebuild it before getting hit by one of the opponent.Each player gets three tries for attempting to break the tower.In the event that a group is effective in getting a pittu, the player which broke the tower gets an extra three tries. In the event that a player effectively breaks the tower however a player from the inverse group gets the ball before it hits the ground,at that point the assaulting player is denied of his remaining tries. At the point when a player from protecting group gets a tennis ball they may not move from that position till they have tossed the ball away.Divide the players into two teams. Each player in team takes their turn in breaking the tower from a certain distance using a tennis ball.A player from second team is assigned to catch the ball after it gets thrown by first team . Rest of second team become fielders.When a player from first team succeeds in knocking over the tower. The team's next aim becomes to rebuild the tower while everyone in second team tries to get all the players out in first team by hitting them with the tennis ball.
If second team succeeds in getting all the players out from first team before the tower is rebuilt then they have defended a pittu. But if second team fails to do so then first team gets a pittu and they carry on with their turn in breaking the tower.Once everyone in first team has had their turn the teams swap the roles.After both teams have defended the team with most number of pittu(s) wins.
