Glass balls of childhood toys

If you ask me what impressed me most in my childhood, I will definitely say that it was a homemade toy that accompanied me to grow up. Why is it homemade? It's simple, no money! I was born in the 1990s, not in a big city, but in a remote mountain village. Four generations of farmers in the family lived an ordinary life honestly. I was about seven or eight years old when I was sensible. I am very naughty and called the king of children. No matter what I do, I will be the first of those children. Children's toys, in fact, can't be called toys, but a game. Both sides specify rules and then see who plays best in the rules. There are several kinds of game tracks in memory: glass balls, candy paper and paper gadgets.

Glass balls are probably the most familiar toys. There are several rules, which vary according to the different ways of playing, such as circle playing and ordinary playing. The game of drawing circles is the most interesting. The rule is: everyone hands out glass balls in order. If the latter person hits the glass ball of the previous person, he will get a chance to win or combo; If more than one person collides, they will come in order, usually from back to front. The condition of winning is to knock someone else's glass ball out of the circle or hit it. I only admire an ordinary play, that is, kissing. Its rule is to find a potholed place suitable for two glass balls to stick together without gaps. The condition of winning is to enter the nest in advance, get a chance to kiss, and then you can send love to other glass balls. In addition, there is a kind of gameplay that is the most tiring and the most technical test. This is a combination. As the name implies, people attack others in order in the open space, and the condition for winning is to hit twice in a row. Because there is no space limit, the display strength of the glass ball in your hand is the same, so test the hit rate of each player. When a player's glass ball is hit or knocked out of the circle, his glass ball belongs to the winner and the trophy. Then he needs to serve again at the starting point until he loses all the glass balls.

After introducing all the gameplay, let me talk about the secrets of various gameplay. Playing in circles is the most interesting, because it is exciting. When it's my turn to attack others, I need to make a choice, whether it's the short distance principle or the ultra-long distance for demonstrating technology. If you want to get the right combination, you must still adhere to the principle of proximity. Because once you miss out of bounds, the glass ball will change hands. This is the secret and beauty of this game. Kissing is my second favorite game. The test is not our hit rate, but our intelligence. Our only idea is how to approach other glass balls that have not entered the nest. This behavior of entering the nest is called becoming a tiger, and then killing other weak animals. Of course, if one side's glass ball is hit by the other side, it is also a victory. This is called Pingyang Tiger Falling.

The meaning of the glass ball is unspeakable, and it is a memory engraved in the heart that can never be erased. The happiness and joy brought by glass balls are always so natural and unexpected. It is a great pleasure to be lucky enough to play with it. Thank you!
