RULES
1. A player whose load falls to the ground shall stop, fix his load, and then continue
the race from the drop point.
2. When a player finishes his turn, he shall proceed to a designated area at the back of
the player.
We, the facilitators of the game Batawel, gather the participants in a designated area.
We explained the mechanics of the game to the players before we began, and we also
demonstrated to them how to play the batawel and reminded them that there might be
a dangerous situations, we therefore disallowed them from acting or speaking in an
improper manner and encouraged them to consider their own safety first.Though we
encountered some problems, we made sure that all of the participants enjoyed the
game. The overall flow aims to create a dynamic and memorable experience for
everyone involved.
