Bambaram (in Karnataka/Tamil)/Lattu (in Urdu) or Spinning Tops are used for fun experience game used in India and Pakistan. The skill and interest in this game is reducing due to other interests taking priority and also due to unsafe nails along with bullying of younger, smaller, poorer kids. This game is more popular among boys and is coming back with safer components and rules.

Components of Bambaram:

• Wooden Top (Coloring is optional - to make it interesting and attractive)
• pointed Nail for getting the center
• String to get the starting spin (also used for lifting the spinning top)

[edit] Game rules

Toss is decided by the top being spun and picked up quickest. The tops that did not complete the toss will be placed in the center of a circle. The people who managed to finish the toss successfully try to spin the top over the tops in the circle trying to break (called Gunna in slang language in Karnataka) them and/or trying to getting them out of the circle. Each time the spinning tops have to be picked up successfully to continue.
