"All player sit on the stem of banana like they're riding a horse and shouting ‘hee hee’ or ‘yee haaah’. All of them have to run to the goal at the end of the racecourse. Whoever reaches the finish line first will be the winner of that game." (Wiki)I am totally appreciating the nod to a childhood Thai folks play, and I reckon the added "battle blade" is a nice added touch to the "banana leaf warrior"!
