Gonggi (공기, pronounced gong-gee) is a popular Korean children's game that was traditionally played using 5–7 or more small grape-sized pebbles. Nowadays, children buy colourful plastic tokens instead of finding pebbles. It can be played alone or with friends. The pebbles or tokens are called "gonggitdol" ( _ko. 공깃돌), which means "gonggi stones." Since only a few stones and a flat surface are needed for play, the game can be played by all children, regardless of their economic condition.
