BESITOS - KISESS

Bolas crillas - Venezuela

Bolas crillas

Bolas Criollas

The "Bolas Criollas" is a very popular game in Venezuela in which great balls to a small ball called "Mingo" are due to bring closer;

In Venezuela game it is play in a earth field (Canch´e Balls), typically delimited by trunks of Palms. 4 balls of a color and 4 of another one are used (green and typically red) and the usual Mingo.

How to play? From a side of the field, one of the players sends “mingo” towards the opposite side. A team sends his first ball trying to be the closest possible thing to the Mingo; immediately afterwards the opposite Team does the same. The team that is his balls are more close to the Mingo, will be the one that "Have the control" Team to play until happening to the control or finishing his four balls.

Once both team plays their four balls, it is come to count how many balls of the each team are more near to the Mingo, accumulated points until the first team in arriving at 15 points declares winner and, typically the team that loose is in charge to buy the beers.
