Chapteh is patois for shuttlecock. Colourful feathers are attached to a rubber or plastic base. The idea of the game is to keep the shuttlecock airborne for as long as possible by kicking it. The winner is the player who manages the most number of kicks.
The player starts by kicking the Chapteh (usually with the in-step), either with one leg or alternating with both legs. He continues to count each kick until he misses. When he misses, he stops playing and surrenders his turn to the next player, and waits for his turn to come again. The next player starts kicking and counting until he misses. The game continues until either all the players have completed an agreed number of turns, or one player has reached the targeted number of kicks. The player who has the most number of kicks, or who reaches a hundred kicks first, wins. In team play, a circle is drawn for each team. A player steps in and starts kicking the Capteh until he misses. The next player on the team takes over. This continues until all the team members have had their turns. The team which scores the most number of kicks after all the players have had their turns, wins the game.
