Before the invention of plastic toys in every possible shape, small objects were used from children to have fun with their friends. In the game of “tuddhi”, five pebbles were used from each player, challenging the other with your own manual ability.
Children were meeting in the street, sitting down on a rung, and the challenge was started. The pebbles were thrown up and then caught again with different positions of the hand. Positions were getting more complicated at each throw and each position had a name: full hand (“a manu china”); take and give (“lassa e prendi”); nun (“a monaca”) and many others.
Il turno del giocatore successivo era una conseguenza dell’errore del primo, che era quindi costretto a star fermo un giro. Vinceva il giocatore che aveva totalizzato un punteggio più alto.
