Most fun games are born out of improvisation. One does not need an expansive arcade or gaming set-up to have a good time. A video tweeted by business tycoon Harsh Goenka proves just that.

The undated video, which appears to have been shot in a village, shows a set-up in which there are two parallel lines formed out of glass bottles. A little farther from these bottles is a small tower created by stacking up steel utensils. People take turns hitting a football with a bat and topple the tower without hitting any of the bottles on either side.

While sharing a clip of this game, Goenka wrote, “Golf, cricket, bowling, whatever it is, it seems like a lot of fun!” This video has gathered hundreds of likes since it was posted on Wednesday.

 

A Twitter user commented on it, “There’s something incredible & timeless about simple, classic lawn games. Most of them have been around for decades, if not centuries. Plus, most R just challenging enough for a bit of fun & lighthearted competition. Grab a few today! ‘Croquet Boccie Kubb Cornhole Horseshoes Ladderball’”.

People also noted that the game appeared joyous because of how the onlookers were cheering each other. A Twitter user wrote, “they are happy and enjoying… that’s the essence of the game… in the present times happiness and joy seem to disappear… cheers are only for the camera!!” Another uder wrote, “Wow such a innovative & beautiful game & best part is that gift & all are enjoying ❤ 😊 ”.
