Application as in the previous. To the equipment is added a “tower” (3 poles of height one and a half to 2 metres, tied near the upper ends with a cord and set freely on the ground in the shape of a pyramid), standing in the centre of the circle. The outer players strive to knock down the tower by kicking the ball towards it, while the central player defends the tower by shielding it with their body and kicking the ball away or deflecting it with their torso. (Regarding the use of hands, the rule is as in the previous.). When the ball goes out of the circle, the player over whose head or to whose right it passed brings it back, places it in their position, and kicks it towards the tower. When the tower falls, the one who knocked it down takes the place of the guardian.
