Gramakh was a game popular among the Orcs. It was both a game of skill and chance, since the fun of gramakh was in the wagering. To play, the players took turns placing on their heads a metal bowl while the other players took turns slapping the bowl with the flat of their hands. This continued until either the player wearing the bowl passed out or the other players tired of hurting their hands. The betting consisted of accurately predicting how many blows the player could take before he passed out.
