epek

Epek refers to a traditional game played in parts of the Philippines, particularly among the Visayan people. The game is typically played by two individuals. The primary objective is to strike a small, designated object, often a piece of wood or a stone, with a larger projectile, usually a stick or a club. The game involves skill and accuracy in aiming and throwing.

The term "epek" itself is sometimes used to describe the projectile or the act of throwing. Rules can vary slightly from region to region, but generally, players take turns attempting to hit the target from a set distance. Points are awarded based on successful hits or proximity to the target. The game can be played for recreation and is often seen as a test of dexterity. While not as widely played as some other traditional Filipino games, epek remains a part of the cultural heritage in certain communities. Its simplicity makes it accessible and enjoyable for people of various ages.
