Description
Gong-gi (Korean Knucklebones) – Start the game by throwing five gong-gis onto the floor. Pick one gong-gi and throw it into the air. While this gong-gi is in the air, grab one that’s on the floor before catching the one in the air. Repeat this to clear the floor.
Jebi Kicks (Korean Hacky Sack) – Continuously kick ‘Jebi’ in the air without dropping. Whoever manages the most number of kicks wins.
Paeng-y (Spinning Tops) – Prepare by winding a rope around the bottom of the top. Then in one swift movement, yank on the free end of the rope to make the top spin.
Biseokchigi – Knock down the opponents’ Biseok(rocks) in 18 steps. Each step consists of stably resting the biseok on a body part and moving to opponent’s biseok to knock them down.
DDAKJI – It’s involves two playing tiles of different colors. The point of the game is to flip over the other player’s tile, by hitting it with your tile from above. As easy as the rules are, it’s actually quite a challenging game that takes a lot more skill than you would think – but no worries, I’ll give you a tip later to maximize our chances of winning this pastime.
