দাড়িয়াবান্দা game

Hello! Community,

I am from বাংলাদেশ

My view is to introduce old passed folk games to the community

I have made an intention to write about folk games which actually played in the past as a part game as well as enjoyment. These were really joyful. Now a days people are passing their days with technology. But in the past these antique games were only place to enjoyment. Today I am telling about Dariyabanda  ( দাড়িয়াবান্দা) which is the meaning of English word of "Stealing the Salt" 

How to play:

Here is the method how to play the game as follow:

Dariyabanda (stealing the salt) This is a popular competitive game. This popular game is played by two teams. This game is played between two teams. Each team has total of five to seven players . Its a ground game, means it is played in the open field. A number of small squares are drawn inside the big one, depending on the number of players. One of the squares is called gadighar (team's chamber) and the other is called labanghar (salt chamber). At the start of the game, the members of one team stay inside the gadighar while their opponents stand in a way that no one can pass from one square into another. A member of the team darts forth or dodges past the players on guard and tries to cross all the cells and return to the gadighar. If one of the members succeeds in moving across all the squares without being touched by the opposing team, his team earns points and wins the round. But if he is touched by the players of the rival team, his team loses the round. The other team then starts playing. At the end of the game, the points earned by the opposing teams are added up to decide the winners.

This famous game is played mostly in Bangladesh (বাংলাদেশ), India, Nepal and other few sub continent region.
