It is a full set of gasing Indonesian tops all set for a bullseye game. Maybe Larry would like to tell us about it?
The Gasing set is from Lombok Island Indonesia. They are not the largest size. They should be about 4 ½” in diameter. But don’t worry, they can still do a lot of damage because of their weight.
***Warning: They are not made for indoor play.
The set consists of one Target Gasing and five Striking Gasing.
Here’s a photo showing Yusuf (the maker) and the gasing. The Black Ringed gasing at the bottom is the Target gasing the others are the Striking gasing.
The rules of the game (I pieced together from older postings):
Score 1 point if the TARGET gasing is hit by the Striking gasing in the body (only the wood part). The point does not count if it hits the Metal Ring. The striking gasing must remain spinning to receive the point.
If both the Target gasing AND Striking gasing continue to spin after the hit then, whichever gasing continues to spin the longest is awarded a point.
But don’t let rules restrict you.
You’re in Miamisburg.
You can make up any rules you want!
I hope everyone attending will enjoy giving them a try.
Here’s a couple of videos to watch on how to Play/wind and throw Lombok Island Gasing, and a video of an actual competition between 2 teams at a festival.
