    I think you left out the most important part: you have to pick up the pieces WITHOUT touching/moving the other stones!! If you do touch/move, you lose your turn.

    Thanks a lot^^ I'm planning to teach "How to play Gonggi" to my native English teacher and to my Korean students in English and then we're going to have a battle ~~The winner or team will have the losers' gonggi pieces~~Thanks to you, I got the tips of the script of Korean traditional gonggi. I like your simple way~Actually I know many types and rules of gonggi...but I know when I show a foreign friend how to play, I think the simple way is the best~I'm already looking forward to being the best player who is...
    I'm also good at it!

    HI Steve. Lately my favourite game is the awele, which is a traditional boardgame related to a lot of ancient cultures. I can carry it around in my backpack and play it casually with people. It's a good way for having a chat while drinking a coffee or a beer. They are also called manqala. If I'm not mistaken there should be a traditional manqala from Korea, too. Have you ever had the chance to play with one?

    @katkadv Před 11 lety +1

    In past this was such a widespread and common game. When we saw it my husband (British) immediately reacted knucklebones and I (Czech) drábky. But I haven't seen it played for very long time. BTW, I used to be rubbish in it.

  • @canadianfirzen
    @canadianfirzen Před 11 lety +1

    wow! this game is also played in China as well didn't know Korea also had this great game! :)

  • @cgkitti
    @cgkitti Před 11 lety

    My students always call this game "air". I gave my nieces a set of these when I visited back home. I will send this video to my sister to help remind them how to play. :)

  • @miriamloquita
    @miriamloquita Před 11 lety

    Very good video. I had seen it in time to catch the pieces the last round with hand face up instead of face down hand, is that it depends on where you play or both forms are valid?

    my african friend taught me this when i was younger and i would always beg her to play it. Though she herself didn't know too many of the rules, we enjoyed making up rules in the middle. we used to play with stones. I can't believe i found the actual rules finally!!

  • @ItsSteveMiller

    I used to play this game a lot when I was young. I really loved this game and was pretty good at it. There is an advanced skill called 따닥(dda dak). You can use this skill in round 2,3, and 4. I wish I could show the skill. If you do this skill, you get moe score. Anyway, enjoy the game. I think this game is good for stimulating your brain. ^^;

    I'm sure there are variations around the world. Next week, I'll be introducing Korea's most popular game... it originated in China and is played by over 74 million people world wide.

  • @zaks04
    @zaks04 Před 11 lety +1

    "gong-gi" also means "air" although this "gong-gi" means "alley"(stone)

  • @NinanoNililiya
    @NinanoNililiya Před 11 lety

    "Air" sounds in korean "gonggi" same with game "gonggi". but game "gonggi" does not mean just "air" but "stone in the air" if "gonggi"'s name was composed with chinese letters. If game gonggi's name is just pure korean words, game gonggi's name means air in korean

  • @lyannemir16
    @lyannemir16 Před 10 lety +1

    The way you caught the stones in the 5th level is different.. I'm not sure but I don't think it's the right way of catching it in gonggi...

    And now?

  • @NinanoNililiya
    @NinanoNililiya Před 11 lety

    As i search about that, "game gonggi" is not composed with chinese letters, so, does not mean "air" and "stone in the air" (both guesses are words composed with chinese letters)
    But is just a pure korean word. And cannot know what is means. LOL most pure korean words are hard, as you know. Though i'm korean.

  • @ItsSteveMiller
    @ItsSteveMiller  Před 11 lety

    Are you good?
