Indian Games and Dances with Native Songs

PART II
16/75

As will be seen, there are a number which cannot be counted.

If one tosses the bowl and the stones fall in such manner as to make a combination that does not count, there is no forfeit; the player merely fails to score any points.

The player who wins a point, or points, keeps on tossing the bowl until she fails to make a point.

She must then let her opponent toss the bowl, who will keep tossing the bowl as long as she can win a point.

There are players among the Indian women who are very skilful and are able to make the stones fall frequently in the combinations that win ten points.
Guessing Games Introductory Note .-- Games of the "subjective" class, designated as guessing games by Dr.Culin, were generally accompanied by singing.
