Take a seat, eat something, and join in as stories are served around the table
Two players face each other and hold out a fist in front of each other. One the count of three, each makes one of the following hand signs:
Semut (suh-Moot): point with the little finger
Orang (orr-AHNG):point with the first finger
Gajah (gha-jah): point with the thumb
Semut means ant. Orang means person. Gajah means elephant.
Orang wins over a Semut because a person can step on an ant. Semut beats Gajah because an ant can crawl in an elephant’s ear and bite and tickle. Gajah wins against Orang because an elephant can stomp a person.
