[@xzr3b0rnzx]

nice haha brings back much memories on the country eraser
i ever won a box of country eraser from a sch mate by just using one eraser hahaha.
but i gave it all back that fella in the end hahaha

[@heeheehaheho5649]

'Fauzi will like bigger stick'

[@lukek172]

in Malaysia, 5 stones is called batu seremban and country eraser is called eraser fight cos' we used any kind of erasers (You don't need to be directly on top of the eraser, Malaysian style is if its on top of it just a little bit, you win)

[@stylefrontier]

the eraser war and five stone is my fave! :D

[@irdinawirdani7225]

five stones is same like in Malaysia and we called it "batu seremban"

[@xeniaang541]

Hello!! Where did you get these old school games from? Is there a particular store in singapore that sells old school games?

[@TheSmartLocal]

+XENIA ANG Hello!! There's this shop at the basement of Chinatown Point, which is located next to Daiso. They sell items from old school games to old school snacks. :)
- Hanis

[@f.p1758]

I had the country erasers when I was younger, I thought they were just very bad erasers that can't erase anything, no idea it was a game.

[@xiia0Gwen]

woah now that this is here I think I actually did saw hougang eraser champion at on the hougang train recently. Can i get him to sign my eraser next time?

[@TheSmartLocal]

니니 Yes 100% yes! Get him to sign it!

-Umehara Keiji

[@christy.c1108]

is it me or does Joyce looks like liuyifei . haha

[@xintianchua9556]

OH SO IS KUTIKUTI LIKE DDAKJI

[@kpopfanatic29]

No lol unless you're just talking abt your 'item' getting on the opponent's. For Ttakji, you have to flip your opponent's ttakji to win (the strength and esp accuracy is very important) whereas for kuti-kuti, you just need to get yours on your opponent's to win. Honestly to me, the kuti-kuti is similar to the eraser game.

[@xintianchua9556]

+Nuteeya oh, thanks!

[@sharifahaliyah7436]
