DAMPA GAME

The game is played with the use of rubber bands,

 known as lastiko in the vernacular. Dampa is the

 act of producing air to come out from a hollow

 of dome-shaped palms when struck against the ground.

Objective: The player will aim to move the rubber band beyond

the service line through dampa.

Lay-out of the Playing Area: smooth, flat surface.

Mechanics:

1. The players will determine the sequence to
dampa the rubber band through palagunting (jack
en poy) or hurumpyang if there are 3 or more
players.

2. Players will alternately dampa the piled rubber
bands on the ground. A player will win in the
game if the player is able to move an odd number
of rubber bands beyond the service line and take
rubber bands that go beyond the line. If an even
number of rubber bands goes beyond the line, the
opponent will take rubber band.

3. Players should not clip the rubber band when
doing the dampa so as not to forfeit the turn to
play.

4. If a player moves an odd number of lastiko
beyond the service line, he will continue the play.
The turn to dampa will change only if an even
number of rubber bands is displaced; then the
opponent will have the turn to play.
