This is a game of chance, similar to hot-potato. A randomly selected player is given the gormball, and passes it to the player on the right.

You can wait between 2-5 seconds (inclusive), but AI players are allowed waiting 1 second. This appears to be a missing option in the menu, and can be worked around simply by refreshing the page.

You gain 2 points for each second holding the ball, in addition to any points that randomly occurr during the game. This is multiplied by 4 if you are the last player standing.

You gain 1 NP per point in the game, and an item if you won.
