Yeah, you have to toss the stone down on each successive number (one for your first turn, two for your second, etc.) and then hop over the space with the stone in it, make it all the way up to the tenth square, turn around, come back, pick up the stone and hop over that square again.
So for the first turn you’d toss the stone down on the first square, hop to square 2 and the next squares, turn around, stop at square 2 again to pick up the stone in the first square and hop over the first square to finish the turn. Repeat with each successive square.
You lose your turn if you step on a line, or if you throw your stone and it lands outside of the designated box. First person to make it through the entire board wins (though you can play by yourself).

How do you WIN a game of hopscotch? For that matter how the hell do you PLAY a game of hopscotch.
Also I believe that violates several of Georgia’s building codes as well as federal OSHA standards.

I believe it has something to do with tossing a stone onto the spaces and seeing who gets the farthest or something.
But either way go cricket

Cricket’s consequences are a little more dire!
