peer agreement (net): +2| round of horse una ronda de "horse" (eliminatoria) Explanation: Hola LadyofArcadia, Por la descripción del juego, creo que se deja tal cual y encomillado. Um saludo. H-O-R-S-E A common, less athletic game for smaller groups of players is H-O-R-S-E (pronounced as "horse"; occasionally other words are used but the game is identical). The game may be played with as few as two people, and as many as desired. The only skill required is shooting; no player is allowed to defend. The object is to not accrue the five letters in the word "horse". With two players competing, player #1 is allowed to shoot from anywhere on the court and, if he makes the shot, then player #2 must duplicate the same shot from the same position. If player #2 misses, he receives the first "letter" from the word "horse" (in this case - an "H"). However, if player #1 misses his original shot; then player #2 is now free to shoot from anywhere on the court and, hopefully, force player #1 to try and duplicate his made shots. A player is knocked out of the game once he has enough letters to spell out the word "horse."

| Reference: "Variaciones del baloncesto" from Wikipedia Reference information: Even after searching, I cannot find much information about this. The closest equivalent in Spanish that I can find is the one at the end of this article (follow link below), called "eliminador" or "k.o.," but I cannot find much evidence of this game (or either of these names for it) being well-known. In situations that are this culturally specific, it can be better to avoid explaining the original term and just include some similar activity that will be readily understood by the target audience. In this case, for example, it is not necessary that they actually play H-O-R-S-E; only that they shoot hoops or do something else active on the basketball court.
