How does this game work? What's the objective?




The objective is to make your opponent move their feet or otherwise lose their
footing. There are a wide variety of rulesets and variations. This one seems
to be pretty basic:

  * Each player stands feet apart with toes pointing at each other.
  * Hands are placed palm to palm, palms of your opponent are the only part of them you can touch.
  * Push or pull your hands to throw your opponent off balance.
  * Whoever shifts their feet first loses.

Some varieties include:

  * Clasp right hands and try and shift your opponent's footing.
  * Push anywhere to shift your opponents footing.
