Rules of the Ddakji Game

Ddakji is a simple but strategic game that can be played with two or more players. Here are the rules:

  1. Preparation: Each player has their own Ddakji. The game round begins with one player placing their Ddakji on the floor.
  2. Gameplay: The other player now tries to hit the Ddakji on the floor with their own Ddakji and flip it over.
  3. Technique: Depending on how strongly and at what angle you throw your Ddakji, you can transfer more force onto the laying Ddakji and flip it over.
  4. Points: If a player manages to flip the opponent's Ddakji, they win the round.
  5. Variations: Some play with multiple rounds or set their own rules to make the game even more exciting.

Why Crafting with Origami is Important

Origami promotes fine motor skills, patience, and concentration. Especially in games like Ddakji, children learn through play to control their throwing force and think strategically. They can also get creative by designing their Ddakji individually and testing which folds provide the best gaming experience.
