The bundles must all be tied alike.

The game consists in guessing which bundle has the eleven straws.

The number of guesses allowed in a game must be fixed upon before starting to play.
All the bundles are thrown in a heap upon the center of the mat.

The Leader, who is generally chosen by lot, leads the players to the mat containing the bundles.

Each player holds in his left hand his ten counters and follows the Leader with his staff as he moves around the mat from left to right, while all sing the following song, taking steps to the rhythm of the music: GAME SONG [Music] When the Leader strikes his staff on the ground every player must stop just where he happens to be, stoop and pick up a bundle with his right hand and begin to wave it above his head and sway his body to the time of the song.
When the Leader points with his staff to a player, that person must make a guess.
