A Variant Court Designed

The Prompt

Design a variant rule set or court layout for the Mesoamerican ballgame, drawing on at least two of the historically attested regional forms — ulama de cadera, ulama de brazo, pelota mixteca, uárhukua, or the stone-ring game of the Postclassic. Specify the dimensions of the court, the permitted striking surfaces, the scoring system, and the equipment required. Playtest the variant with at least one other player and record what the body learned.

Completion Criteria

A written specification of the variant (court dimensions, rules, equipment), the date and location of the playtest, and a short account of what the variant revealed about the mechanics of the ancestral forms.
