If you have
watched Korean variety shows, especially ‘SBS Running Man’, you may be familiar
with the game Ddakji (Sometimes also referred to as Ttakji).
Ddakji is a
Korean game often played by groups of children outside on playgrounds, in
villages and cul-de-sacs. It is incredibly simple and involves the flipping of
paper tiles by slamming one down on another.
Today, I
will regale you with my ddakji-making journey, instruct you on how you can make
your own and how to play a game with them. Please be kind to me though, as you
are about see that I am not really gifted in any artistic or crafting way (even
with folding paper). I apologise!
