The boys are giving us our first lesson at Kherem Board. It's a great game, a bit like bar billiards, but played with counters on a wooden table covered in something like talcum powder to let them slide. You can have two players or, more usually, two teams of two. The object is to knock your counters into the holes in the corners using another counter, or puck, which is slightly bigger. You can put the puck anywhere on your baseline and then you flick it with your finger. The Nepalis play at great speed and it is often amazing to watch.

I am looking for a copy of the rules.
