Tribal People Try Toys & Games

Toys and games: Lego, Nerf guns, board games, video-game controllers, fidget toys, remote-control cars — played with by grown men who grew up making their own toys from wood and string.

The play is genuine. Competitive games turn serious fast, and anything that flies or shoots gets a crowd. The cost of the toy, when it is mentioned, is the moment the mood changes.

Village childhood is gulli danda, marbles, kites and cricket with a taped tennis ball. The tribe compare every toy to those and usually decide their own were more fun.
