MATERIALS
- A wooden spinning top (lattoo)
- A length of string for winding and launching
HOW TO PLAY
1
Wind the string tightly around the top's body, starting near the point.
2
With a quick snapping motion, throw the top onto the ground so it lands spinning on its point while you pull back the string.
3
Players take turns launching their tops into a marked circle on the ground.
4
A common contest is to see whose top spins the longest without falling over or leaving the circle.
5
In a competitive variant, players try to launch their top so it strikes and knocks another player's top out of the circle.
6
The player whose top spins longest, or who successfully strikes out rivals, wins the round.
