Ddakji (Ttakji): The Ultimate High-Stakes Korean Flipping Challenge

Bring home the ultimate test of wrist strength, accuracy, and geometry with Ddakji (also known as Ttakji), the classic Korean game of tile-flipping. Played for centuries, this simple yet intensely competitive folk game is a staple of Korean culture and a fantastic activity for family and friends ready for a true skill contest.

The Game of Strategy and Power

Ddakji is a high-energy, sudden-death competition where two players face off, each armed with a heavy, folded paper tile (ddakji).

• The Objective: The goal is to successfully slam your tile down onto your opponent’s tile, using sheer force and a precise angle, to make their tile flip completely over. This is the only way to win!
• Simple Setup, Complex Skill: The rules are deceptively straightforward, but mastering the wrist snap, the ideal angle of attack, and the raw power required to flip the heavy card tile is a genuine challenge of will and technique.
• Competitive Fun: This game fosters direct, spirited competition and is perfect for family gatherings, testing friendships, or settling a score where only pure skill dictates the outcome.

Product Features

• Authentic Traditional Materials: This set includes the necessary materials (thick, durable paper or card stock) to fold and assemble or more Ddakji tiles. The density is essential to create the necessary weight and stiffness for the game’s competitive mechanics.
• Vivid Colors: Comes in classic, bold colors (such as red and blue) for easy identification and highly visual, fast-paced play.
• Learn a Piece of History: Playing Ddakji is a hands-on way to connect with a timeless Korean folk tradition built on competitive honor.

How to Play (The Basics)

1. Fold: Players first fold their provided card stock to create thick, square ddakji tiles.
2. Setup: One player places their Ddakji flat on the ground.
3. Slam: The opponent slams their Ddakji down onto the resting tile. If the resting tile flips completely over, the player who slammed it wins the tile (or wins the round).
4. Reverse: Players alternate roles until one player wins all the tiles or a set number of rounds.
