The snail
Two players are enough for this game. They draw a big snail on
the ground. Then they have a
lottery to see who will start first. The first player throws
a small stone into the mouth of the
snail. Next, he tries to push the stone to the center by hopping
on his right foot. He hits it with
the point of his shoe slowly and carefully so that it won't touch
the line. At this point, the player
has a short rest and following the same process, he tries to
push the stone back to the mouth of
the snail. If he manages to do so and also take the stone out
of the snail, he gains a point and
he has the right to try again. But if he steps on the line or
his stone touches the line while the
player is trying to push the stone in and out of the snail, he
loses. He also loses if the stone gets
out of the snail through one of the sides and not through the
mouth. The winner is the player
who gets the number of points set before the game.
