Pakistan is one of the 77 countries taking part in the third World Nomad Games which are currently underway in Kyrgyzstan.

Kyrgyz news agency Kabar had earlier reported that Pakistan had expressed its wishes to participate in the multi-nation event.

Furqan Ahmad Khan, secretary general of the Pakistan Mas-Wrestling Federation, had met Kyrgyz Ambassador Erik Beishembiev and discussed the possibility of the participation of the 25-member Pakistani sports team in the event.

The World Nomad Games are held after every two years as a way to develop an ethnosport and ethnoculture movement.

It aims to revive, develop and preserve people’s ethnoculture, diversity and originality to boost a tolerant and open relationship between people.

The events in the tournament included mas-wrestling, arm-wrestling, endurance, flat racing, horse back archery, sumo and tug of war.

No local games like
1) Yasso Panjo
2) Cards
3) Carem Board
4) Monoply
5) Polo (Horse wali game)
Then "No", plus I found a Big Eye behind that Picture and Pyramids
.
So my suggestion is Big Big NO

Using a live animal and man handling it to death with horses stomping on its corpse would be considered unislamic.

If I am wrong maybe you can refresh me on how buzkashi is played.

That is how it's meant to be played, but majority of the time animal is alive. There was a reason why even the taliban banned it in Afghanistan calling it 'cruel'.
