Landang

Landang is a traditional Filipino game that is played by two teams. Each team has their own set of small stones or shells that they use to play the game. The goal of the game is to knock down the other team's stones or shells by throwing your own stones or shells at them.

To start the game, the two teams mark their own "territory" on the ground using chalk or sticks. This creates a rectangular area that they will use to play the game. Each team takes turns throwing their stones or shells at the other team's stones or shells. The goal is to hit them and knock them down or out of the marked area.

If a player from one team successfully knocks down one of the other team's stones or shells, they earn a point. The game continues until one team reaches a predetermined number of points, usually 7 or 10.

There are a few rules that players must follow while playing landang. For example, they must throw their stones or shells from behind a designated line and they cannot cross the line while throwing. If a player breaks a rule, they may lose a turn or lose points.

Overall, landang is a fun and exciting game that requires skill and strategy. It has been played by children and adults alike in the Philippines for generations.
