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.
