Game length
Go city to city and beat each city's street champion on their own ground, in their own wind. Every city you conquer opens in Pick Your Street. Tap a city to see it.
More grounds in every city: beat them all to become Champion of that city.
Times of day and weather: early morning, hot afternoon, night games under a streetlight, rain and harmattan haze.
- Throws: throw your token into L1, then L2, all the way to L6 (left side, bottom to top). It must land inside the box, clear of the lines.
- Hop the loop: up the right side R1 to R5 on one foot, R6 and L6 on two feet, then down the left side L5 to L1 on one foot.
- When you reach the box just before your token, you pick it up, hop over the token's box and step out. If an opponent's house sits before your token, you pick it up over their house.
- Never step in another player's house or on a line. You may stand in your own houses.
- Build: after the L1–L6 throws, turn your back and throw over your head. A free box on the right side becomes your house. The left side only opens once the right side is full. Building a house ends your turn, and next time you start the throws over from L1.
- Faults: token touching a line (even a little), outside the grid or in the wrong box; a foot or hand touching a line; stepping in the wrong box. You lose the turn, and next time you continue from where you failed.
- When every box is a house, the player with the most houses wins.
- Cities and wind: every game is played in a Nigerian city, on its own ground and in its own wind. Some grounds make tokens slide, bounce or roll after they land. The wind reading at the top shows how strong it is and which way it blows. Aim a little into it. Harmattan and Sahel winds are strongest; light tokens like a bottle cover drift most, stones hardly move. Play play has no wind, and you can turn wind off in game settings.
- Controls: aim in any direction with the joystick at the bottom left (or drag on the ground). Hold the round button at the bottom right and let go when the ring around it shows the power you want.
