Ddakji

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Folding a ttakji from square paper.

Ddakji, or ttakji (Korean: 딱지), is a Korean game played by two or more players. Ddakji is constructed by folding two square pieces of paper together into a square. As with milk caps, the game is won by flipping the other player's card.

In popular culture[edit]

The South Korean variety show Running Man occasionally features ddakji in its missions.[1][2] The game is also featured in the first episode of the Netflix television series Squid Game.[3]
