A chalk circle roughly 3-4 feet across serves as the battle ring.

HOW TO PLAY
1

Wind the string tightly around your piao from the point upward.

2

Snap your wrist to throw the piao into the marked circle so it lands spinning.

3

Players take turns launching their tops into the ring, aiming to strike opponents' spinning tops.

4

A top that stops spinning or is knocked completely out of the circle is eliminated from that round.

5

Landing a direct hit that keeps your own top spinning while stopping an opponent's counts as a successful strike.

6

The last piao still spinning inside the circle wins the round.
