===Similar game=== [[File:Hymenaea courbaril - seeds.jpg|thumb|''Hymenaea courbaril'' seeds are used to play a similar game in Puerto Rico.]] A similar [[Puerto Rico|Puerto Rican]] game (played with the smaller seed of the jatobá, ''[[Hymenaea courbaril]]'') is called ''gallitos'' (meaning small roosters or cocks, as in [[cockfighting]]). The opponents face each other and the defending gallito is laid in the center of a circle drawn in the dirt. Not until the attacking player misses will the defending player take a turn. Upon missing, if the attacking player is quick enough, they will try to swing at the defending gallito before the defendant removes it from within the circle. If the defending gallito is struck it must remain in the circle until the attacker misses again. This move is called a "''paso de paloma''".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20101008013901/http%3A//maderaspr.uprm.edu/algarrobo2.pdf|title=Monograph on ''Hymenaea courbaril'' |language=es |page=1}}</ref>
