MATERIALS
- A large wooden spinning top (gasing)
- A long cord for winding and launching
HOW TO PLAY
1
Wrap the cord tightly around the grooved body of the top.
2
Hold the top firmly and throw it forward while sharply pulling the cord to set it spinning.
3
Players scoop their spinning top onto a small wooden platform or paddle to keep it going without touching it by hand.
4
In a timing contest, the player whose top keeps spinning the longest on the platform wins that round.
5
In a striking contest, players take turns launching their top at a rival top already spinning in a marked circle, aiming to knock it out or stop its spin.
6
Points are awarded per round based on spin duration or successful strikes, and the highest total after an agreed number of rounds wins.
