Squid Game | How to play Squid/Ojing-eo | 오징어 놀이

Squid is a children's game in South Korea. The name squid comes from the shape of the board drawn on the ground resembles a squid. It is an environment-friendly and very beneficial to health as it is played only with bare body without any play equipment. It is a multiplayer game, and the game is divided into two teams, offensive and defensive.

The goal of the offensive team is to continue to lead the game by winning, and the mission of the defense team is to annihilate the offensive team to gain the initiative in the game.

General rule elements

If the representatives of both teams play rock-paper-scissors and win, they become the offensive team, and if they lose, they become the defensive team.

The attacking team is located in the attack team area and the defending team is located in the defending team area.

Attacking players are required to move only by hopping on one foot outside the attack team area. However, the player crossing the bridge is entitled to move on both feet.

Defending players are required to move only by hopping on one foot outside the defence team area.

Attackers and defenders must use the gate when entering and exiting the squid.

Offensive Team Tasks

The ultimate goal of the attacking team is to retake Manse-tong(Goal) to secure victory. Therefore, the priority of the attacking team is to qualify to walk on two legs. The only way for players on the offensive team to get the qualification to walk on two legs is to cross the bridge between the squid.

The game is over when the attacking team recaptures Manse-tong(Goal) or disqualifies all of the defending team.

Defensive Team Tasks

The defending team's top priority is to prevent the offensive players from crossing the bridge. This is because the odds of winning are significantly reduced if attacking players are given the ability to walk on two legs. When the attacking team enters with both feet to retake Manse-tong(Goal), the defending team must block as much as possible and knock them out.

The game is over even if the defending team disqualifies all of the attacking team.

Penalty

Violation of the rules listed below will result in ineligibility until the next game.

1. When the feet of a player who is not eligible to walk on two feet touch the ground
2. When the player falls and his arms and legs touch the ground
3. A person who moves on two feet will be out even if a body other than the two feet touches the ground.
4. When the attackers and defenders drag and pull each other, the person who crosses the squid line is out.

epilogue

세계인의 환호성 때문에 아련한 기억 속의 오징어들이 팔딱거립니다. 현대인의 건강 측면에서 볼 때 오징어 놀이는 나무랄 곳 하나 없는 소중한 건강비법으로 보입니다. 균형감각, 순발력을 통한 유산소 운동 강화, 지구력 증대, 악력 강화 등을 키울 수 있기 때문입니다. 이러한 점이 합리적인 세계인들의 오징어에 대한 환심과 열광에 일조한 것으로 판단됩니다. 한국 경제성장의 주역인 베이비 붐 세대의 저력은, 일상이었던 오징어 놀이로 다져진 강인한 정신과 체력에 기인 된 것으로 보여 청소년들에게 적극적인 활성화가 필요해 보입니다.
