Kanamachi

Kanamachi is a popular Bangladeshi and Indian village game. The game is played mainly by children, and is one of the popular games in Bangladeshi villagers. Children living in towns and cities also love the game in great amounts.

Rules of the game

The game is not restricted to a certain rule, but there is a common and widely used rule that most people maintain.

1. First the players choose one of them to be the Kanamachi. This is done by some toss or other methods.
2. The one who is selected to be the Kanamachi puts a cloth on his/her eyes and fasten it tightly, so that he/she cannot see things around.
3. Then the Kanamachi is given to catch other players.
4. Other players have to touch the Kanamachi and get to a safe place where the Kanamchi cannot catch him/her.
5. Once the Kanamachi manages to catch a fellow member of the game, then that player (who is caught) turns into the new Kanamachi, and the former Kanamachi becomes a normal player.
6. The game is often restricted to an area, and the players cannot go beyond the range, so that the Kanamachi does not have a great deal of difficulty in catching a player.
