Dembee - Mongolian drinking game

Dembee is Mongolian traditional game which inherited from ancient time. At the beginning of summer, herder families start milking mares and make Airag /fermented milk/. According to game rule, the loser in Dembee game should drink some amount of airag.
Here our travellers visited a nomadic family and watched the game and even took a part in it.
There are other versions of Dembee playing differ by special melody stemmed from techniques and manners of showing fingers or even using folk song melodies. Key factors to win in Dembee are the abilities of showing (different) fingers of two hands simultaneously, acute eyesight, clear speech, listening and collecting and speed of finger and hand movement.
It is similar to the Mancala game and the objective is usually to capture all or some set of the opponent's fingers are going to show.
The one who got 5 scores or guessed 5 times correctly first, wins. Collecting scores will go as if I got my first score I will fold my left hand thumb first, then forefinger for the second and so on and after fourth score I would say “Sprinkling!” The one, who gets five points first, wins.
Because our guests did not know how to play Dembee we just played Mongolian finger game, which is similar to rock, paper and scissors.
This is a perfect tour for culture and local life experience seekers.
