Baobab Ball is a game in which a baobab fruit is passed between players. It can evolve into a competition of a different nature, as on occasion Bunga and Kion would wrestle over the fruit rather than pass it back and forth. Similarly, Bunga would often intentionally keep the fruit away from Kion, leading to a game of chase.
