yes, it was played like the eraser game

 

I remember there was one eagle kuti kuti that had its legs very high up

 

but try not expose its back which was very flat on the floor

 

that one was one of the better pieces

 

Thanks! How does the selection of the pieces go?

 

Would it be a one-on-one or a royal rumble.

 

Sadly, I doubt kids now would have the patience for such games.. The smartphone takes all their attention

I thought I started this thread but how come I don't seem to know what you guys are talking about anymore. I must have been from a completely total different space. Haha. [smallcry] [smallcry] [smallcry]


 

Anyone watched this before?

 

Have only seen this in Mediacorp's dramas before but can't believe this is really Singapore 50 years ago.

Very 雾锁南洋 feel.

The kutis2 cost from 10c to 50c circa 1981/2. Selection is largely random but we generally try to go for the same weight/ cost class. i.e 50c pcs vs 50c pcs. The unifying rule is the winner will take possession of the loser's kuti2.

 

The Kingsfisher is 50c class. That is akin to a S350L in today's money so you don't really want to risk losing it. Given that there are no visible performance advantage for the premier models, their larger surface area actually makes it easier to mount. So the brighter kids will usually work out the law of physics and use their 30c models to match up against 50c model and winning.

 

The match is fought one to one. Royal Rumble aka FFA was not invented until WWF which occurred later in human history.

 

I hope this helps clarify the gazetted rules and regulation of the International Kuti2 Organization.

Oh yes speaking of erasers and kuti-kuti, don't forget Pick-Up Sticks also.

 

Pick up sticks will be perfect today as we will have video technology to weed out the I-never-see, argue'ers and I shout-louder-I-win type of players.

Those I-shout-louder-I-win fuggers can go and die, from young until now they really get under my skin. Need one tight slap.
