The rules of the game in "towns"

"Towns" - a game familiar to most people since childhood. Today, those boys and girls who played for hours in this fascinating game a few years ago themselves became parents and dream to introduce their sons and daughters to this fun.

In this article we offer you a simplified rules for playing in "towns", which will be easy to master and understand even for preschool children.

The rules of the game in "towns" for children of school and preschool age

In the "towns" are 2 players, each of which gets into their hands a bat, or stalk. Two more such cuttings should be sawn into 10 identical pieces, or "ryuh", from which later the figures called "small towns" will be added. "Ryuha" can not be produced independently, but purchased as part of a ready-made set for the game.

Initially, on the playground with chalk or a stick it is necessary to draw 2 cities located next to each other, but still at some distance. At a distance of 3 meters from the cities, you should draw a semiconductor line, with which both participants will throw a bit, performing their turn. Another 3 meters you need to draw another line - the end. This distance is given for preschool children, for schoolchildren and adults it can be increased.

The rules of the game in "small towns" can be briefly described as follows:

1. First, using lots determine which of the players will start the game.
2. All the "ryuhi" are laid out on the playing field so that they will have a certain figure. The list and sequence of figures are shown in the picture:

Of course, some of these figures can be too complicated for preschool kids, so they are often replaced or cleaned during the game.

3. The task of each player - for a minimum number of strokes to knock out all the "ryuhi" from the enemy's city. At the same time, until the figure is unpacked, that is, not a single element has been knocked out of it, the guys beat the bat with a stake. If the city is already "lit", that is, at least one "ryukha" from it has already been knocked out, the move is made from a semiconside.
4. Two players toss the bat in turn, regardless of what ended the previous blow of each of them. If the game involves not two players, but two teams with the same number of players, all the guys make moves in turn, starting with the captain.
5. The rules of the game in "small towns" for schoolchildren and adults may differ slightly - here each player can be given 2 bits, after which he will have the right to 2 consecutive moves. In the case of babies, there should be only one bit.
6. The winner is the player or team who managed to knock out all the "ryuhi" of the enemy for the minimum number of strokes. Depending on which figures are used for the game, the winner determination rule can be changed.

Although the game "towns" seems incredibly simple, in reality, this is not so. Knocking out the "ryuhov" of the enemy is so tight for both children and adults that it is almost impossible to break away from this entertainment.

Of course, starting to train boys and girls this wonderful game follows from the simplest figures and minimum distances. Nevertheless, after some time, when the guys acquire the basic "gorodoshnye" skills, you should add more and more new figures and increase the distance between the kon, semicon and cities.

Although "small towns" - is, first and foremost, a pair sport game, it is played with pleasure by whole companies, arranging exciting and incredibly exciting competitions. Try and you all family to play this originally Russian fun, and you will return to it again and again!
