This is a small list of the popular begleri games that you can play alone or with 1+ other slingers:

Copycat (2+ people)
Copy Cat is a game where one person performs a trick and the next player follows the combo and adds a trick to the end of the combo. The next person follows the trick list and adds one more trick to that combo.
Below are the rules (taken directly from Facebook):
Below are the rules (taken directly from Facebook):
- In order to participate in Copy Cat, at least two judges (defined below) must call “Good” on the previous Copy Cat entry
- You must call “Next” on the previous entry to let people know you will be posting the next iteration.
- Your entry:
- Your entry must include the name Copy Cat and the entry number (e.g. Copy Cat #3) the current trick list, which includes all previous tricks, as well as your addition to the combo.
- You must record the entry in slow motion and keep the combo in frame of the camera.
- You may participate multiple times, but you cannot go twice in a row.
- You have 24 hours to post your entry. If you do not, you forfeit your turn.
- When the judges call a redo on your video, you have 12 hours to resubmit your entry.
- Post your entry on the original Copy Cat posting for the current week (Copycat is played weekly on the Begleri Enthusiasts Hangout Facebook group).
Additional Notes/Rules:
Support Moves:
Support moves are not "tricks." You may not end your combo on a Support Move, but must be included in your trick list for others to follow and can only have one included in your combo, which are:
- Slips
- Rebounds
- Weaves
- Half Cabs

- Weaves
- Half Cabs
Things to keep in mind on the tricks and combos:
Copycat cannot start with a Support Move as its first movement
- Tricks such as ladders, are not allowed as one trick, since there are multiple rolls.
- If a chain of tricks end up making a ladder you may add it as a Ladder to your combo list to streamline the entry.
- Aerials count as one trick.
- Catches are not considered a trick
- If you want your catch to count towards the Copycat chain you must list it in your post
- You must unwrap your wrap, this will count as one trick
- Any Begleri and string length is allowed. Keep in mind that some tricks might be more difficult with the string length used. Most participants are playing long game.
- Each Copycat game will last for 10 turns. Once 10 turns have been completed the game ends until the next week.

Add-on (2+ people)
Add-on is similar to Copycat, with less regulation. Here are the rules.
- The first player performs one(1) trick.
- The next player must then perform that same exact trick, then add another trick afterwards.
- Repeat this process until one of the following conditions:
- One player fails to complete the combo after X amount of time.
- Both players are satisfied with the combo ending at a certain point.
- Note: This game is very commonly played via Instagram story posts. I would highly recommend filming the final combo and posting it as an IG post proper.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
SLING (2+ people)
If you've ever played HORSE in basketball, this is it, except with begleri tricks and/or short combos. If you are unfamiliar with the rules of HORSE, here's a rundown.
- The first player gets to do a trick or combo, that subsequent players must match exactly.
- If someone does not match the combo, or fails trying to recreate it, they get a letter.
- This process repeats until all but one player has earned all the letters of "SLING".
- Here are some ideas for extra rules, but these are not explicitly part of SLING:
- If players do not respond in X amount of time, they get a letter.
- Allow/disallow slips between tricks to change difficulty.
