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.
