Psto cultures.

A few folk games that you can play with your friends when you're bored.

1. Naghleibhas, "sticking".

The Glinnar game, the first mention of which dates back to two or three thousand years BC. The meaning is this: a certain word is taken (preferably with as few affixes as possible), and then the players take turns sticking suffixes/prefixes/other roots to it so that the resulting word has at least some meaning from the point of view of language and is formed correctly. You can only glue on the right and left; you cannot fit between existing parts. The loser is the one who can no longer make anything intelligible out of the resulting cadaver.

A simple example in Retzin:

• write
• writer
• writer
• clean writer
• …

I’m not sure that such a game will relieve you much of boredom, but you never know.

2. Royza

Eryakhshari drinking game for a group of people. Everyone stands in a circle and starts counting from one onwards; when the first round ends, players must skip numbers divisible by two when counting; on the third circle, numbers divisible by three are added, and so on. If someone makes a mistake, the neighbor on the right must hit him royzā — for Gearts, this is a clap with an open palm, which ends in a not very traumatic, but painful “grab” with the claws. This blow is applied exclusively to the chest (men only), stomach or butt. Early rules also included something like kicking the testicles, but these were quickly abandoned.

The one who makes a mistake must have time to intercept the hand of his neighbor on the left and also inflict on him royzā. And then the options:

- if not a single blow hits the target, then no one drinks;
- if one blow reaches the target, then the one who was hit drinks;
- if both blows reach the target, then both drink.

Well, of course, if someone hits another by mistake, then he also drinks. And, yes: people and others like them don’t have claws, so you can just clap your palm very hard.

3. Kanb, "stone"

ATTENTION VERY TRAUMATIC

Dverzhsky game from Kharassukhum. Something between baseball and “catch me brick.” More than two people are needed.

The idea is this: a large round stone is taken, which the participants can more or less easily lift, but throw - with difficulty. Two people take a special leather bag with iron chain straps; the third throws a stone in their direction, they catch it with this thing.

• if the stone hits one of the participants, he is eliminated (no wonder);
• if the stone falls to the ground, one point is awarded to the thrower;
• if the stone still manages to be caught (if it falls to the ground while in the bag, this also counts), then the catcher goes away with a point;
• After every three throws, the participants change in a circle.

The game lasts either until a pre-agreed number of points, or until all but one are eliminated.
