How it is played:
1. One player to hold all five cloth bags (or called 'five stones') in one hand and scatters them onto the floor. Then he/she picks up one and throws it into the air. While the first stone is thrown into the air, he/she has to pick up up another one and makes sure he/she catches the first one into his/her hand as well.

2. Now that he/she has two stones in his/her hand, he/she has to throw the two into the air while picking up the third one.

3. This goes on until the player has all the stones in his/her hand.

4. If the player fails at another stage, that is another stone drops from his/her hand, the chance is passed to another player.

5. The player who finishes first with all the five stones in his/her hand wins.
