Past Time: Patball


Another past time game i used to play was Patball. This required the player to hit a tennis ball up against the wall, with a bounce on the ground before it gets there. On the return, the opponent is only allowed the tennis ball to hit the floor once after it has hit the wall. If the tennis ball is allowed to hit the floor twice, that player loses a point. You can have multiple players in one game


Past Times: Oware


Oware is a board game that I used to play as a youth. It originates from the country that I am from which is Ghana. It consists of stones/seeds placed along the board. and the main object of the game it for a player to obtain more seeds than their opponent. This is only a two player game. and the way to obtain the seeds is to land on a group of four. You move the stones/seeds around by picking a group of stones/seeds, then by dropping one stone/seed into each hole. If there is still remaining stones/seeds on the last hole, then the user has to pick up that bunch and continue until the final stone is dropped into an empty bowl.
