Romanian term or phrase: care pe care

Daca nu, atunci urmează să adoptăm un joc psihologic care s-ar numi:
◦“de-a vânătoarea”,
◦“la pândă”
◦ sau “care pe care”.

Mulţumesc!

Explanation:
Daca inteleg bine si in joc amandoi jucatorii sunt si pisici si soareci, ca sa spun asa, atunci mai potrivite ar fi variantele de sus.

Ex. Phr. pull devil, pull baker ({dag}parson); pull dog, pull cat, an
incitement to effort in a contest between two persons or parties for the possession of something; hence as n. denoting such a struggle; also attrib.

Fara context, fiecare poate sa-si imagineze acel joc oricum. Pe langa cele de mai sus, imi imaginez ca e posibila si varianta: ”battle of wills game”, ca aici:

Playing the battle of wills game, Ryan wouldn't give him his chocolate.

The battle of wills game is the one in which the parent perpetually seeks to enforce his or her will over the child rather than working with the child.

My dear Mitsy got ill. The vet said we needed a urine sample- we tried, and ended up with numerous wet patchs on our hall carpet- see www.johnheronproject.com for details of the ‘urine watch’ saga. Eventually we won the ‘battle of wills’ game and delivered an exquisite sample to the vet.
