The game can be played by unlimited number of players. The players stand in a circle with the faces to the centre. One player goes round the circle behind the players and touches somebody’s back saying: “Namins deg!” meaning “The house is burning!”. As soon as the player touches somebody back and shouts: “The house is burning!, both players run round the circle each taking the opposite direction. They try to reach the empty place. The player who can’t reach the empty place the first goes round the circle and the game is repeated.
