Issues that may cause a ‘defunct game’ status is that, among others, if there is a ‘buah’ that touches another one when the player spread them onto the playing surface like the ground, floor and the like. Apart from the hand, other body parts such as the feet, the knees and the like are not allowed to be touched by the rest of the ‘buah’.

Towards the Rack
The Tuju Para game is popular among the local community around the 1950's. Basically the game uses rubber seeds or rubber bands, sticks or two-branched twig, bamboo cut into four pieces and rope. The two sticks or two-branched twig are spiked in parallel onto the ground and act as the rack pillar. The bamboo pieces are tied on the sticks or twigs and act as the rack. Player turns are determined by hurling the rubber seed or rubber band towards the starting line in front of the rack. The player whose rubber seed or rubber band is closest to the starting line will start the game.
