    Filipino Leisure Game

    PATINTERO
    "Escape from the hell or Block the runner"

    PRESENTED BY: GROUP 1


    HISTORY
    Patintero is a traditional Filipino game that dates back to the
    Spanish colonial period.
    It was originally played by children on the streets and is now
    considered a cultural heritage game in the Philippines.
    Patintero is derived from the Spanish word tinta ("tint" or "ink") in
    reference to the drawn lines.
    Another name for it is tubigan, tubiganay, or tubig-tubig ("water
    [game]"), due to the fact that the grid lines are also commonly drawn
    by wetting the ground with water.
    It is also known as harangang-taga or harang-taga (lit. "block and
    catch"), referring to the game mechanics.
    HISTORY
    Other names for the game include:
    lumplumpas (Igorot),
    sabatan (Kapampangan),
    sinibon or serbab (Ilokano),
    and tadlas (for four players) or birus-birus (for six players) in
    Eastern Visayas.

    MECHANICS
    THE PLAYCOURT
    Patintero is played on a rectangular grid drawn
    into the ground using a chalk/charcoal/water.
    The rectangle is usually 5 to 6 m (16 to 20 ft) in
    length, and 4 m (13 ft) wide.
    It is subdivided into four to six equal parts by
    drawing a central lengthwise line and then one or
    two crosswise lines.
    The size of the rectangle and the number of
    subdivisions can be adjusted based on the
    number of players.
    The individual squares in the grid must be large
    enough that someone can stay in the middle out
    of reach of someone standing on the lines.
    MECHANICS
    THE PLAYERS
    Two teams are needed, each with around two to six players.
    One team acts as the taya (it/defenders/taggers), the other acts as the
    bangon (offenders/runners/passers).
    This is usually decided by a game of rock–paper–scissors (jak-en-poy) or a
    coin toss.

    Runners Taggers
    MECHANICS
    OBJECTIVE OF THE GAME
    The main goal of Patintero is for one team to accumulate as many points by
    crossing the rectangle (other team’s territory) back and forth without getting
    tagged by the opposing team.
    MECHANICS
    RULES OF THE GAME

    For the Taggers:


    One tagger is usually assigned per crosswise line.
    Taggers can only move along their respective lines,
    with the exception of the tagger on the first line
    who is regarded as the team leader (patotot).
    Unlike the other taggers, the patotot can also
    move along the central lengthwise line.
    Taggers can tag runners at any time, including
    those already past them, but both of their feet
    must always be on the lines.
    Tagging a runner when none or only one foot is
    contacting the line is not counted.
    MECHANICS
    RULES OF THE GAME

    For the Runners:


    Runners can cross at any time and to any adjacent
    square, however, they can only exit the playing
    rectangle at both ends of the rectangle.
    Once a runner is tagged, they are out and will sit out
    the match until the next game.
    Teams score points when they complete isang gabi
    ("one night"), a full circuit of the playing rectangle,
    from one end to the other and back again.
    Once all the runners have been tagged, the teams
    reverse roles, with the taggers now becoming the
    runners and vice versa.
    The team who crossed the most wins.
    OTHER GAME VERSIONS
    In some versions of the game, the match ends if even only one
    runner is tagged. In others, this only applies if the patotot of the
    team is tagged.

    In modern versions, there is also sometimes a time limit for how


    long runners can attempt to score points. The match ends once the
    time is up, regardless if no points have been scored.
