Ollamalitzli, the ancient Aztec ball game, was played with a rubber ball and involved teams trying to hit a stone ring or marker. The game had significant cultural and religious importance, often associated with rituals and ceremonies. Players could use any part of their body except their hands to strike the ball, and matches could be quite intense, sometimes culminating in human sacrifices to honor the gods. The game reflects the Aztecs' values of strength, skill, and their reverence for life and death.
