Dhakka Mukki: the great animal shove
Pick a lane, send your animal, and push! Goats, donkeys, buffaloes, camels and elephants in decorated jhools shove nose to nose. Both sides get the same animals in the same order, so skill wins: the heavier push wins the lane, and getting through scores.

How to play
Dhakka Mukki rules
- Tap one of the five lanes to send your next animal up it (on a computer, press 1 to 5). You can send one every second and a half.
- Animals have weights, shown on their jhool: Bakri (Goat) 1, Gadha (Donkey) 2, Bhains (Buffalo) 3, Oont (Camel) 4, Haathi (Elephant) 6.
- When your animals meet the computer’s, they push. Animals in a line add their weights; the heavier side pushes the whole line back.
- An animal that reaches the far end scores its weight. First to 50 points wins; after three minutes, more points wins.
Tips
How to push harder
- Send fast: every second you wait, the other side gets ahead.
- Back up a push: an animal sent behind your own adds its weight to the shove.
- Use open lanes: even a goat scores if nobody stands in its way.
- Save the big ones for a lane where the computer is pushing towards your end.
Want the biggest push? Watch a short ad for a Haathi call: your next animal is an elephant (once a game).
