El Trompo Boricua

Wind the string snugly around the top's body from the tip upward, leaving enough length to hold at the end.

With a sharp throwing and pulling motion, release the top so it lands spinning on the ground or on an open palm.

Players compete to see whose top spins the longest without toppling over.

In a competitive variant, players try to launch their top so it strikes and knocks over an already-spinning opponent's top.

The last top still spinning, or the player with the most successful knockouts, wins the round.
