Biseokchiji – Traditional Korean Flipping Game of Skill

Bring home Biseokchiji, a classic, dynamic Korean folk game traditionally enjoyed during the Lunar New Year and other holidays. Perfect for family competition, cultural education, or as a unique outdoor game for all.

The Game of Aim and Skill

Biseokchiji (pronounced bee-seok-chee-jee), literally translated as “hitting the tombstone,” is a traditional throwing and flipping game that tests accuracy and skill. It is similar to throwing and skipping stones, but involves precise aim to knock over or flip the target pieces.

Key Features of the Set & Design Appeal

• Iconic Geometric Scoring: Each piece is intricately carved with geometric symbols: Circle, Triangle, and Square. This design adds a layer of strategy to the game and appeals to fans of modern Korean aesthetic and competitive themed games.
• Authentic Game Pieces: The set includes the two thick, carved wooden/board pieces (known as biseok), which resemble simplified, arched headstones.
• Durable Construction: Made from sturdy wood or pressed board for long-lasting use indoors or outdoors (best played on a smooth surface).
• Easy to Learn, Difficult to Master: Simple rules make it accessible for everyone, while requiring enough precision and strategic throwing to be challenging and rewarding.

How to Play (The Basics)

1. Setup: The target biseok pieces are set upright a short distance away.
2. Action: Players take turns throwing a small stone, disc, or coin (not included) at the targets.
3. Objective: The goal is to successfully knock down or, more challenging, flip the standing biseok pieces over with a throw, earning points based on which geometric symbol is visible or how the pieces fall.
