  1. This is a game often played by the children. The children count twenty an whoever twenty falls on is the "King". Then the player selected stands on the top of a mound or hillock and calls himself King of The Castle. The other players must try to push or pull him off, while she must do her best to keep her position. If she is pulled off by one of the players that girl is then "King of The Castle" And so the game goes on.
