    The game originated in Portugal in the 15th century and is similar to other traditional games played in Spain and Latin America. It involves throwing metal disks called malhas to knock over wooden pins called mecos along a 20-meter field. Players score points based on how close their throws land to the mecos. While light physical activity, the game promotes motor skills, socializing, and the preservation of cultural heritage. Rules and additional information about competitions can be found online.

    Brief introduction: origin and history of the game

    From the Roman Empire!!! Initially, the game is the prerogative of working class. Traces of this are perceptible in common
    language, namely in the verb achincalhar (i.e. ridicule, mock, demean, humiliate), derived from the jogo do chinquilho, a
    traditional pastime of the less favored classes. From the point of view of the middle and upper classes, whoever lent
    themselves to playing chinquilho in public, in the middle of the "population", lowered themselves, that is, " achincalhava-
    se". In certain regions, the terrains and games of Chinquilho were and are consecrated to Our Lady of Chinquilho,
    frequently invoked by players!

    - To play, the partners place themselves, each one, at a headland of the field.
    - Players alternatively try to overthrow the meco with their malha, by throwing them from the baseline.
    - If the meco is overthrown the player earns 3 points. If it is not, the player that threw its malha the closest
