The Five Coin Game

In the late 80s to early 90s, a popular game played with 5 coins spread across schoolyards around Asia. Every recess, kids huddled around desks to watch their classmates engage in a battle of strategy, reflex, and skills. Despite its popularity, the game had no official name. It's simply known to the players as the Five Coin Game.

As digital gadgets proliferated in primary school, traditional schoolyard games have given way to apps. This site is created to preserve this game for the next generation, and to encourage the older generation, my generation, to grab a friend and see if your skills are still as sharp.
