The world of play is not only enjoyed by children – adults also enjoy games, even a king. There was once a king from buleleng called Ki Panji Sakti who was known to be a mighty monarch. He enjoyed a game called “ Magoak-goakan”, a traditional game from northern Bali.
In this game, several people line up to form the shape of a snake while one other persons is the “Goak” (Crow) whose aim is to touch the snake’s tail. So the members of the snake team (especially the person at the head) must prevent the crow from touching their tail (the person at the end). If the crow succends in cachting the snake’s tail, the game ends.
It was said that Ki Panji Sakti used this game of ‘Magoak-goakan’ to persuade his troops to go to war! Later in 1985, the game was transformed into a dance bi I Dewa Supartha Dharma and has continued to develop into many versions.
