This document describes the traditional game of Koya, originating from Gobe Village in the Tufi area of Oro. It is a game played by children aged 5 to 15, often segregated by gender. The game requires participants to use spears and wheels cut from banana trunks. The objective is to outline the rules of engagement, detailing the setup where two children stand at opposite ends of a rectangle, approximately 20 paces apart. Other children with spears line up on one side of this rectangle. The core gameplay involves the two children at the ends rolling the banana wheel to each other, while the spear-wielding children attempt to strike the rolling wheel. The winner is determined by who successfully hits the wheel the most times.
