How it plays

Pull. Release. Click.

  1. Aim

    Drag back anywhere on screen — your shooter fires the other way. The further you pull, the harder it flies.

  2. Flick

    Let go. Glass on glass — the click you remember from the street.

  3. First to four

    Knock a marble out of the chalk and it's yours. Four wins the match — but a shooter that stops inside the ring is a foul, and it costs you.

Three streets

Beat one, walk to the next.

The ground changes. So does the rival.

Peepal Chabutra · golden hour

Munna

Flat, swept dirt under the old tree. Nothing in your way but a loud mouth and a loose aim. Sharma Uncle is watching from the window.

Kachcha Maidan · rough ground

Guddi

Grass tufts, scattered stones and sticky patches that eat your speed. Guddi is quiet, precise, and jumps when you least expect it.

Monsoon Gali · drizzle

Bittu Champ

Bricks, puddles and a sky that will not clear. Three seasons undefeated, and the jump shot is his native language.

Street rules

How kancha is played.

Kancha · Kanche · Lakhoti · Goli

Kancha — kanche across the north, lakhoti in Gujarat, goli in plenty of other galis — is South Asia's classic street game of glass marbles, played wherever flat ground and a piece of chalk could be found. Our version keeps the rules the mohalla actually played by:

  1. The ring

    Draw a circle in chalk and every player antes marbles into it. That pot in the dirt is what you're shooting for.

  2. The shooter

    You flick your own shooter marble from outside the ring — knuckles to the ground, thumb doing all the work. Ours answers to a pull-and-release.

  3. Ring out

    Any marble you knock clean out of the chalk is yours to keep. In our matches, the first to four takes the street.

  4. The foul

    A shooter that stops inside the ring is a foul — street rules make you ante back, and here it hands your rival the edge.
