While growing up we used to have many other interesting (some embarrasing) games..

1. kochamni - usually played during monsoon when rains softens up the ground - an iron rod is thrown and must stick in the ground. sorry forgot the rules now..

2. movie photos - many interesting games with this - vaguely remember that in one of the versions we used to have an arbitrator - different parties would submit different photos and the photo with the best action will win - the winner gets all photos - followed by a heated discussion on how one particular abeetaabacchan with kicking-shtyle is better then the dharmendra punching.. <!--emo&:felx--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/flex.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='flex.gif' /><!--endemo-->

3. Even matchbox covers would be used to invent games.

4. all time favorites - marbles.. <!--emo&:thumbsup--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbup.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='thumbup.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:cool--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/specool.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='specool.gif' /><!--endemo-->
