Playing Calls[edit]
There are many playing calls in the Gonggi game. The standard calls have been listed here. The penalty for a "mess–up" requires that the player who has perpetrated it pass the stones to the next player.
A "double touch" occurs when a player physically touches the Gonggi stone(s) more than once.
A "mushroom" or a "diamond" occurs when a Gonggi stone is balanced on a diagonal position. In some versions, this orientation may be worth either extra points or the instant end of the player's turn.
An "overhead" occurs when a player throws a Gonggi stone in any distance above their head.
A "drop" occurs when a player, after catching all 5 Gonggi stones, drops a stone on to the playing surface.
A "fixation" occurs in level 5 when a player deliberately adjusts the Gonggi stones in their hand.
An "interception" is when another person distracts the person who is currently playing.
