&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;em&gt;a leader recited a verse, each  of the players repeated  the verse, the leader added another verse, and  so on until one of the  players made a mistake, with the player who erred  having to pay a  penalty&lt;/em&gt; and restarting.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
