Whoever invented this game should be given a Nobel 

Dear viewers, please watch this video 👉ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xMBfr6d1gM4.html

Having keenly watched the game,I can tell that one of the very few down sides or flaws about the game is the fact that a player can decide to increase the chances of a person exiting the game by throwing or pushing the rod in a direction which makes it difficult to be caught or grasped by the player who takes over his spot whenever there's a shift in position,other than that,it's an interesting game.

To those who are not aware, this game serves the clever purpose of providing a charity with dignity to a community of proud people. That's why everybody "wins" something.

I think it would be more interesting to play it with an odd number of participants and have two people out each time someone drops a pole. Those people being the person that was supposed to catch it, and the other being the person that let go of it. That means that the people playing have to both worry about catching the pole they are moving to, while also trying to make sure their own pole is as straight as possible and gives the next person the best chance of catching it. Since it's an odd number of participants eventually you will end up with a final winner.

The guy in black who made it to 4th place had THE BEST passes. He left his nearly perfect erect each time. And he dove for the pole in front of him no matter how sloppy it was. I was rooting for him

Finally, the purpose of a medium like RU-vid has been satisfied. Showing the culture and games of one region to the world. I'm very happy😄

The second last guy wanted to win Sooo bad, but if you watch a second time... he gave some of the most unclean passes of the whole game... pushing the sticks down. It also took him a good 15 seconds to regain his composure after loosing and to realize that the entire village was watching

What a fun game! The fact that this game is friendly, no physical contact between the competitors, yet a great test of stamina and agility is everything. I love that the award is cooking oil 😂

The guy that came second always let the stick fall while the guy who won left the stick very balanced standing straight, so it was easier for the another person to catch. He deserved winning.

Also what is really cool is that nobody tried to intentionally get others out, which at least from this one video could be possible…. 🙏🏽🙏🏽 cooperation! ❤

The crowd acknowledge everyone exiting the game with a clap is just amazing!

This was surprisingly thrilling! I don’t trust the gentleman who got second place though. I’d like to see a version where a double-whistle means reverse direction.

When I attended school in the 1950s-60s, we played games such as "Run Home," "Red Rover," "Did you ever see a lassie" etc everyday. Team sport too. Nowadays, recess rarely involves games; competition is frowned upon. It's a shame.

This is similar to what native American pow wows do as well. Builds a sense of community through friendly competition. Would be great if more people were able to participate in events like this. People might actually build better communal relationships

Now add this, long whistle means don't go (so people that react really fast might have a chance of getting out if they rush to the other stick) and a double whistle which means switch directions. People would have to not move immediately and it would add more variety to the game. Honestly sounds so fun

How beautiful it is to see the whole community enjoying a game, without the distraction cellphones!

It’s interesting how we all seem to find a way to make it more competitive and/fair in some way. We can’t fathom the idea of having to rely on someone else not to screw you over.

Wearing a Manchester City shirt and Lungi at the bottom is such a sigma move 😂 👏

First time I saw such a game, but nice game, quick action & concentration required for such game

It's such a nice thing to see people having a good time in a friendly environment old and young sharing happy moments. Please tell us about the community and history of the event. I guess a lot of us would like to be in a community like this away from all the noise and stress and struggles, just living a simple lifestyle

I've done this many times with random groups over the years. It really brings everyone together,especially the fact everyone gets something in the end. I think that's oil they are playing for as well👍

I love to see this. Not just because the game is fun, but because everybody is enjoying together as a community. I want to assume and be right in thinking that these sort of activities make for a deep sense of belonging and leave almost no room for dumb rivalries, gossip, toxicity, etc. I wish everyone a nice and prosper life 😊

An interesting thing to notice is that the prize is not money or a trophy instead it's a bottle of oil. Which the winner can use at home. We can't think of having a bottle of oil as a prize as it's not that important. But it's making some people happy. That's the simplicity of this crowd. So good. ❤

Apart from the game being very engaging for players and viewers it is also an amazing way of promoting a product 😊

Imagine playing this with the boys after a few beers.

At the beginning of the video, I was thinking, “no way is the guy in the skirt gonna win this”. By the time it was down to four men, I’m yelling, “Go Skirt Guy go!!!” What a unique and fun looking game. Shout to out to you “Skirt Guy” wherever you may be 😉♥️

Looks like a fun game, but it seems to have a flaw: often, when someone fails to catch the stick it's because the person before them let go of it at an odd angle. So players get disqualified for the mistakes of others.

I saw this game for the first time.. it's really Amazing.. Alertness is the total need for this game. Hearty Congratulations Dear Children 👏👏👏👏👏👏

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 It was very lovely watching a community of people getting together to enjoy and support. All without phones at hand! 😂

Truly has local flavour and rustic game. Love the atmosphere and simplicity ...incredible India. This can be a best exercise and motivating game for every school kid. It requires small space and few sticks. Appreciate every moment of it ...enjoyed.

I knew it he would win this game. Everyone behind him was out by his carelessness to balance the stick.

Add the following rule: if the guy behind you fails to grab the stick, you are both out.

Its not a fair game..... It heavily depends on person who is leaving the stick. If he leaves unstable stick then it will be difficult to hold it by the next person.

A very social game❤ healthy for the attendents and entertaining for the visitors. I like it. Better for me than computer Games, because I'm older and traditionell.

The one in black was so fair for the one behind him, he always left the poll stand in a stable position

చాలా బాగుంది . హడావిడి లేకుండా సిపుల్ గా వుంది ! ప్రవేశపెట్టినవానికి అభినందనలు !

Depends upon how the first person leaves the stick,not the next one who catches the stick. But he is to be out.

It is almost always the fault of the stick holder previous to the person eliminated, not the person eliminated. But fortunately, at the end, the guy in blue won, because the other guy was over all the worst offender.

Very good game. Hats off to the winner, not just because of his victory,but for his ease with lungi.He was so comfortably running even in lungi.👍

Would be cool to see multiple rings getting bigger to increase space and difficulty between levels. Cool game.

The moment I saw a Lungi Guy in the game, I knew who is gonna win the game

What a gentlemanly way to resolve political disputes as well 😂

I love this, so wholesome and yes, I watched every minute it was strangely gripping! How the whole village turned out to take part is beautiful 😍

Everybody wins! love it.

Love it! A wholesome game that tests endurance and agility with no physcial contact. This could be made more challenging by adding different sounds for different actions. Instead of just changing amount of whistles, a whistle sound can mean move clockwise, drum sound for moving counterclockwise, and maybe loud shout for standing still. I think using just whistle to signal different actions (1 whistle, 2, or 3) could cause a a simple game like this to be too chaotic. Thus, different sounds adds some challenge and keeps it safe and simple.

The lungi boy was most active and witty, a befitting reply to people who downgrade Bharatiya dressing side over western. Kudos, he won it simply. Good game. The beauty of being Bharatiya can clearly be seen here. No nonsense. Purely a sport. Congratulations to you all.

Ha...ha...ha.... nice game. Creative thinking. Waiting forward for more game show.

I don't like Xmas, but I need to make my family play this at the party 😂

bro just proof using local garment is better than jeans.. unlimited flexibility

I know what game to have for the kids and adults at the next BBQ. 👍😃

Optional additions: • have both the catcher and last owner of a fallen pole be disqualified • thus have odd number of players • Start with a small circle, then put the pole 1 foot further away each catch until someone leaves (then reset size) • Have a similar, but different whistle that means "stay", and those leaving their poles fail • Have music, where the signal is a start of a section every 2-4 seconds • carry a basket on your head that you also may not drop

I watched the WHOLE time the guy who got second place. He DIDNT play fair. Always bringing the stick with him making it hard to the person behind him. And surprise surprise, the one that didnt play fair was the only one clompaining after losing.

I have no idea what this game is, but I love how everybody wins something and they (including the audience) are enjoying every moment. I would love to play this too!

All of them were very energetic. Such a lovely game! Incredible Bharath❤

I love this game! Thanks for sharing this piece of your culture ❤

Great game ,,and its more than a game for me ,I see consentration, discipline, agility,confidence and yes the fun ...tfs 🎉

So simple, so skillful, like musical chairs, but much better! ❤

The fact you can cheat by pushing the stick away just before leaving is the only flaw I think the game have other than that.. it’s an awesome game.

Moral of the game if you want to win wear a Lungee😂😂😂

It would be nice to have a community event like this in my town. We don't do much charity socially to have more communication so a thing like this would a life saver.

Good game, hats off to the inventor.

Watching this reminds me of a popular game in my hometown called "game box"... It's very different from this but the whole vibe, it being a local game, it also being an agility, strategy based field game and all. I haven't played that game since i graduated from highschool 4-5 yrs ago. When i go home this December, I'm determined to teach it to my older sister so that she can play it with me and our younger siblings.

This games brings harmony and enjoyment to the community. What a fun game. I love the environment too so raw and looks very nature friendly .

That chad who is winning a competitive game WITH A LONG SKIRT ON!

Nice game that can be played at all ages...good to see different activities around the world...showing that we can be entertained without having violent activities like fighting and heavy contact sports .

At least they gave cold drink to all the participants

This game is awesome! And just a little stressful. I’m glad you make the circle smaller as people are eliminated, that would have been even more stressful haha!

What a great game. It's as much about cooperation as it is competition. And fun and engaging to watch. I love it!

As kids we played a game simular to this...only we had stationery poles. We started with more people than poles though. You had to run to a pole, sort of like musical chairs w/o the chairs. We called it switch.

Given the low value, to me in the UK, of the prize and the opportunity to cheat but lack if cheating, it seems the game is played as much for the fun as anything. Which is nice to see.

The person who won left the stick falling down so the opponent couldn't catch it. But the opponent left the stick well..

Their award seems to be a bottle of cooking oil. The community came together to set up this kind of event. Such a nice event.

Gostei da diversão, vou fazer esse jogo aqui no BRAZIL. 👍👍👍👍👍

The duration of the stick before it falls to the ground depends on the force exerted and how erect the stick was before tuning to the next. I can see that some players failed because of this 😢, although this game can be improved.

Great game requiring much dexterity. No violence! I loved watching this! (I hope women have a go too!)

I love the game in principle. Not all players in life's games play fair. However, I would love to see young South Aussie kids play this & each receiving a prize would help teach that it's about participation, not always about winning! Take note, all you sportsmad⚽🏉🏀🏏🎾players and fans!

Excellent game. First time dekha. Maza aa gaya. Hats of to the inventor. So energetic . Winner ko kuch zyada milna chahiye. He deserve more

It is like our musical Chair.

I love how it’s a combo of balance, speed, and stamina. Balance because I assume tipping the stick in any direction would be considered cheating and a forfeit. Speed because obviously you have to get to the next stick. And stamina because that whistle guy gives you ZERO time to catch your breath lol.

👍 PROUD! BEAUTIFUL VILLAGIAN BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS BEAUTIFUL GAMES BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE OF OUR I N D I A

This turned out to be extremely satisfying. The game itself is simple, but very entertaining. I've recently been to Morocco, and in the square, at night, people play all sort of ingenious games like this, which is absolutely brilliant to see. I'd like to know where this is (I think I heard Pakistan at some point)

Very innovative and inexpensive game. Locally easily , eco-friendly materials required. 🤗 Similar to Musical chair 🙌👍

I really enjoyed that, and it was great to see this whole group of people into it. I can tell you, sadly, that if this were played in the U.S., you'd have to have minutely-specified rules about stick placement and everything else. Players would give their sticks a little nudge as they let go to decrease the odds of the other person catching it. You'd have to have instant replay, referees, and, of course, special shoes.

Very entertaining I was pretty intrigued by it thank you for sharing

Very interesting game. Enjoyed watching it.

Loved every minute of this. I kind of knew that the guy at the end would win. He was lightning fast. But his competitor at the end was also very fast, and a good sport right at the very end.

Nice game & after a very long time saw something promoting local culture in a positive way !! Kudos to the makers of this game & even to the chap who shared this

Good gym class game. Eye-hand coordination and aerobics.

First time seeing this game, it was so much fun watching I subscribed 😀

Legends said that people still clapping 👏🏻

Very nice game❤😂

Great to see Traditional games being played and enjoyed.

Simple pleasures of life❤

This game is worth a lot more than the meaningless Nobel Prize Award.

That's a lot of piss

That game has a resemblance to musical chairs I played as a child in grade school 😊

How interesting and the fun this is 😁

the best thing of this game no body try to cheat or make difficult for other salute to all

I assume you’re not allowed to throw your stick to the ground before running, but is there any rule against purposefully leaning the stick so it falls faster? It definitely seems like some sticks went down much quicker than others that stayed mostly upright.

Wonderful.. entertainment..very much enjoyed ❤️🤗🙏
