Gansing game
Gasing is a traditional Indonesian game that is played by wrapping a rope around the body of a top, then throwing it to the ground or arena to spin. Made from hard wood or bamboo, this game is popular among children and adults as a competition for long rounds or punch fights (pengangkah).

- Origins & Culture: Gasing is closely related to Malay culture and spread throughout the Austronesian region, often played during festivals.
- Components: Consists of head (axle), body, and nylon rope or tree bark.
- How to Play: Wrap the rope tightly around the neck of the top, hold it with your left hand, then throw it with your right hand while pulling the rope quickly so that the top spins in balance.
- Types of Tops: There are adu tops (for competing) and uri tops (for long spinning).
- Winner: Determined based on the top that spins the longest or the one who successfully hits the opponent’s top out of the arena.
