One of the oldest games of the Kyrgyz. The game can be played anywhere. Boys and girls play together. Players are divided into divisions according to age, and referees are chosen for the game. Each territory has its own name. The finish line is marked. “Ak cholmuk” is a piece of bone (cow bone) polished or painted white.

The judge shows all the players the white pot, then places the players face up and throws the stone to one side and the white pot to the other, so that they do not know which way the white pot is thrown. Both sides are ready to guess where the thrown white pot will land. As soon as they get out of the car, they start running in large numbers to find the white pot. The first player to find it shouts the name of their area and runs to the finish line. The competitors try to take the white pot away from him. He tries to run away, write it down, or pass it to one of his accomplices. If the opponents grab the white pot, they must also run away, shouting the name of their group. The one who brought the white pot to the finish line throws it back. 1 point is scored for the archer who throws the white container once at the finish line. The referee counts the points and determines the results of the game. The referee makes sure that the rules of the game are followed correctly. If players violate the rules, the game is stopped with a “whistle” signal. The player who does not obey the decision of the referee will be removed from the game. At the end of the game, the team with the most points wins. If the score is tied, the side that least disrupts the game wins. When fighting for the white cup, one should try to take only the white cup in the player's hand without pulling or pushing it away from clothing, hands, or feet. The game also falls under the category of competitive games. The game is usually played on a moonlit night. This game is also called “aka desert” (?).
