The Boi-Boian game is quite simple and played in teams divided into two groups with 4 to 5 members. The first team is tasked with compiling tile shards into a tower, while the second team must knock down the tower of tiles using a ball. If the ball hits any member from the first team, the member is declared disqualified from the game. If the second team cannot destroy the tower of tiles, they\u2019ll be disqualified. The game is declared over if one team loses all the members, and each group will switch roles once the game is over. This game is pretty much the Indonesian version of bowling but much more simple and intimate.<\/span><\/p>\n

This traditional game also counts as a traditional sport from West Papua. At first glance, the traditional game of Cado looks similar to a modern sport originating from Canada, namely Hockey. The equipment needed in this game is a ball made of bamboo roots or a Cedo, a bat made from sticks of bamboo or commonly called a Yerpur, and foot protectors for players made of fiber. In this game, players often wear accessories that symbolize position in the Yeinan tribe. One example is a headband called Kekenap, which is only worn by Yeinan tribe members who are young\/teenagers. In addition, this traditional game is accompanied by traditional musical instruments such as Tifa (Drum), Fuu\/Yi (Flute), Guitar, and Okolele so that the game will look more festive.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rangku Alu comes from the island of Flores in East Nusa Tenggara. This traditional game is also often adapted into a traditional dance because this game is usually combined with the beautiful strains of traditional NTT music. In addition, this game is also played during the full moon as an expression of gratitude during harvest season. In practice, players need concentration and fast movement. This game is divided into two groups: the guarding group and the playing group. The guarding group must move the bamboo while squatting and holding two bamboo sticks to form a square. The playing group must jump according to the rhythm of opening and closing between the bamboo so the bamboo won\u2019t capture them. As time goes on, the rhythm of the bamboo will be made faster, and if there are players whose legs are caught, the group on guard will take turns playing.<\/span><\/p>\n
