Ddakji

Ddakji or Ttakji (Korean: 딱지), is a South 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

The popular South Korean variety show Running Man occasionally features ddakji in its missions, which may contribute to the awareness of the game in other parts of the world.[1][2] The Netflix original series Squid Game also shows main characters playing ddakji in its first episode.
