A group of elderly people were playing poker together. What was remarkable was that some of them had one or two bricks on their heads, while others had more. This raises the question of why they were wearing bricks while playing poker.

According to a netizen in the comments, playing poker in Henan involves a unique reward and punishment system. The losing side must place a corresponding number of bricks on their head, while the winning side can remove a corresponding number of bricks from their own head. The bricks must remain on the player's head during the game. And this method allows for easy identification of the winner and loser.
