This is already bro game number ten. How time flies. Bro games are quick and easy. That makes them awesome.
In Balleke ("Little Ball") you and your bro toss a little ball back and forth. While you toss the ball, you can talk to each other, stay quiet, watch a movie or do whatever. You keep tossing back and forth until you decide to take a pause (for instance to eat chili), then if you decide the pause is over (for instance the chili has been eaten), you start once more.
If someone drops the ball, either bro can go pick it up. Said bro can start throwing from pick-up location, toss it on his way back, or he can move back to his original spot and only then continue. It's also okay to convince bystanders to pick up the ball for you, but after they hand over the ball (or toss it once) it's not okay to let them play along.
It's recommended to give a nod of appreciation whenever your bro throws the ball exactly to where the recipient bro's hand was located. There is something magical about not having to move your hand to catch a thrown ball. You will realize it as soon as it happens. It's also recommended to do a mutual nod of appreciation if the catcher catches the ball with only two fingers of the same hand (for example index and ring finger).
It is allowed to try different throwing motions or curves or speed. This can even enhance the fun.
You can roll the ball in your hand, or toss it back and forth between your own hands to make the other bro feel more eager to catch the upcoming ball, till the point where he starts complaining about wanting the ball. It is up to yourself to decide the fine line between teasing and throwing, just like it is up to the other bro to decide the fine line between complaining and laughing (preferably in "he he he"-style).
This tends to be an indoor game, but you can play outside if you like.
The ball in the picture is the official ball to play this game. Find a ball that works for you and your bro if you can't find an exact replica.
If you are unsure about the rules, you can send a mail to the judge for clarification. Contractually obliged, and yes he will sue if not mentioned, it's still David Galle.
Good luck!

that truly looks like a gorgeous ball to toss around with your bro. I may even rank this as my #3 most perfect ball, after my signed Babe Ruth baseball and my Michael Jordan signed basketball (but ahead of my Linoy Ashram signed rhythmic gymnast ball, my Pete Sampras signed tennis ball and my very own bowling ball. I play bowling with my dad twice a year.)
I offer you 5000$ for this official ball of this game. I like it and want to have it.
You can't
