Asker: Probably, I know exactly how to play it but haven't got a clue what it's called in English. And Buck's answer: King of the mountain, I don't know if it's the same game.

Notes to answerer
Asker: It's when you draw a circle or a square into the sand and by throwing a pocketknife into the sand you can conquer 'land' from your oppenent. At least that is the game I am searching for. Ans
