    Which Scythian ball game was named after the concept of "stealing the goat"?

    Question #98013. Asked by tragic_flawed. (Jul 28 08 12:11 AM)

    		Buzkashi -- Traditional Central Asian team sport played on horseback. The steppes' people were skilled riders who could grab a goat or calf from the ground while riding a horse at full gallop. The goal of a player is to grab the carcass of a headless goat or calf and then get it clear of the other players and pitch it across a goal line or into a target circle or vat.
