If one team is unable to knock it down then the next team gets the chance. If the throwing team knocks down the stones then their task is to reassemble them.

The task for the defensive team is to hit the players with the ball below knee level.

If the throwing team manages to reassemble all stones then victory goes to them. But if the defensive team is able to hit a player then they will be the winner.

My thoughts on Lagori (seven stones)

In my childhood days, I used to play it a lot. It feels very intense and energetic at the time of throwing and running. You might think I’m overreacting but in childhood days every game feels like an intense game.

While writing this I re-imagined the events that happen when I was playing it.

This game was famous among the youngsters(teens) but now it is fading away day by day. But still, some organizations are trying to make it popular again by organizing tournaments.

Now Lagori has reached international heights with more than 30 countries playing it.
