The board is divided into four cups. Two players oppose one another, each of them owns two nearest cups. Before the game two balls are put into each cup.
 
Players take turns, and there is no pass.
On his turn a player takes all balls from one of his own cups and sows them one at a time into the other three cups counter-clockwise. No balls are sown into the cup the balls were taken from. 
 
A player who cannot sow loses.

This game results in a draw by repetition if played perfectly. But be careful - each of your moves can be a mistake!
