About the game
Alkkagi (알까기) is a game between two players where several stones are placed on a board and the player flicks them with his finger to knock the opponent's stones off the board. A variant of Alkkagi appears in Chinese literature as Tanqi (彈棋 or 彈棊), which was played by emperors from the Han to the Tang dynasties. In Korea it was played in Goryeo. Thus it is an ancient game.
Comedian Choi Yang-rak broadcast a game of Alkkagi against celebrities on Comedy.com, which made it popular, and competitions for the general public have also been held.Information from Marquoir’s game database, which cross-checks several open sources.
