Kootikooti is the Malay slang term for the game called "erasers" (or "kesi-pin"). The literal meaning is 'to nudge with the fingers'. Gameplay The game is played with erasers, popsicle sticks, bottle caps, plastic animals, and any other objects. They are referred to as play-pieces. The object of the game is to take turns flipping or nudging the play-pieces in order to "land" on top of one's opponents' piece to "pin" it (the wrestling term by which the player who is pinned loses the match). Rules may vary, and the value of the play-pieces is dependent on the objects on-hand being used, or any house rules, or subject to the whim of the players (traditionally this is an improvised game type). In other countries In Japan, the same phenomena is called Keshi-pin. In England and the USA (mostly in the pre-computer era) the game was called "erasers". The play-pieces were the pink 'slab' erasers that school children often had. In general, this style of play happens worldwide. |
