The way we played it, the number of stones was not constant, and
7 was both tough 'n easy depending on team size. More than 10 members a team meant we increase the number of stones. But then these are gully games so besides the made-up rules its free-for-all i guess. > the opposing team got a bonus for hitting the stack directly, but it was IIRC, if they catch the ball bouncing off directly after hitting the stone pyramid (like cricket) when the bonus points was equivalent to the number of stones that fell. > also permissible (besides being more fun) to hit the person actually > doing the rebuilding of the stack. *big grin*
