Are you interested in the Korean game Gong-gi? In this article, I will show you how to easily fold the game dice yourself. The traditional Korean skill game Gong-gi has gained new attention worldwide due to the popular Netflix series Squid Game. With our Gong-gi Origami version, you can replace the traditional game pieces with self-folded paper dice.

The Story of the Gong-gi Origami Game

Gong-gi is a fascinating skill game that has captivated Korean children for generations. While traditionally played with stones, our Gong-gi Origami alternative offers a creative and modern approach that makes the game even more interesting.

Materials for Gong-gi Origami

For the best results of your Gong-gi Origami dice, I recommend special origami paper in various colors. This paper is thin enough to fold, but sturdy enough for the game. You can also use regular paper for practice, but the final results are more beautiful and durable with real origami paper.
