Gongi
These are gongi, a little present from my Korean teacher tonight. They're used in a traditional Korean game which may also be called gongi. At least, I think it's traditional. All the kids play it anyway. It seems to be pretty similar to another game that we have back home that I can only ever remember playing with my Mum, which I think is called snobs but the internet will have me call jacks instead. Back me up, ma.

Exactly right Ry. We did play such a game. I learnt it from my Dad and we always called it Snobs. The internet does, as you say, refer to it as Jacks. We used the equipment as described (ie. rubber ball (ours was red!) and five silver metal-formed 'stones' with bobbles on the end). Rules as stated.
This has brought back fond memories for me of all the different games I learnt, and played many times over, with my Dad and then consequently passed on to you and Gareth!
I now look forward to playing gongi with you, in the summer when you return!
