Such tea dances eventually died out due to a clampdown by the authorities in response to frequent brawls occurring at these events. In the mid-1980s, the government revived tea dances to matchmake young Singaporeans, and discotheques subsequently organised tea dances on weekend afternoons for teenagers.

The two rows of seven holes are designated as “houses” in the “village” (kampong) while the last two larger holes serve as “storehouses”, although there are variations. Seeds are placed in each hole, and then redistributed according to the rules of the game. The objective is to gain as many seeds in one’s storehouse as possible.
