a) pine cones (lying on the ground, dried, and thus light), b) snowballs.

In these combats, conducted between two parties, the fighters are separated by a neutral zone, the width of which will be adjusted to the average throwing strength of the given group. This way, we avoid the unpleasant consequences of stronger and accurate throws. A participant in the game, hit anywhere, is eliminated as killed. Aiming at the head is not allowed. The party that, within a specified time, has killed more opponents or pushed the opposing party back from the neutral line wins. A rule may be introduced that a person hit in the head does not count as killed, but the one who hit them is eliminated instead.

The game can be varied by organizing the defense of a fortress (a hill, embankment, fortress made of packed snow or sand, a building).
