This is by the far the best game I have come across in this country ever! It is a top that you spin with a string and you control the top with the same string. There are two sticks at each end of the string and you move them up and down slowly. The difficult part of the game is that the top is not ever attached to the string and you have to somehow get it to spin along the string as you manuever it between two sticks. This woman is my teacher of this game. I don't know if you can see but here she has tossed the top in the air, detaching it from the string as a small stunt for us. There is a man in the background with his top and string, he was really talented. At one time that man did a hoola hoop thing with his string and top! That's my next goal with this top game, although I have set my desired acheivement pretty high. These are difficult things to buy because a young man told me in a nearby toy store, his name is Jack, that they are not in high demand and that he could order me one on their web page similar to our Ebay. I was so excited that he ordered me one that I gave him a track of the Gospel and made a new friend! He was excited that I was excited too. I hope to have many adventures with my new top toy thingy..still trying to catch the name of it. I told my new teacher to text me when they go out and play so that I could join them as well. Most of the players gather together in a park that actually is close to where we live, and most of the players are retired and older than me, but I like them and love the game!
