The Moroccans

A descendent of Cleopatra (seven-time Great Pyramid Women's Open Champion), Sheik Ali Ali Incumfre read of her love for the game that was banned. He was determined to revive the game in his native Morocco. He set forth tales of the game and simple rules that were spread to all known oases. This would be a game that traders could play at their leisure during their long and arduous treks.

He devised a ball from the giant surkoosh date and filled it with camel darta. This date was inedible because of its spiny and sticky surface. He drew a circle in the sand and put a native fez in the center (the fez would later become the shape of the modern FlagstickyTM). The object of the game was to have the traders use their staffs to hit the surkoosh ball toward the fez and try to knock it out of the circle.

The traders loved this game and spread its glory to all parts of the Middle and Near East. Radical kids' groups began to modify the game by hitting the surkoosh balls at camels. This was a very cruel version, which would force the King, Muststoppa Oralla Brakurnek, to end all forms of the game.
