Al Corro (To the Circle)
A circle with about 30 cm. in diameter is drawn on the floor. Each player put in it one coin. So we have to establish the order to throw the tops. It has done playing "Al baile" ("To the dance"). The player who his top has stopped the last one will throw the first one, and go on. The first player starts the game throwing his top and trying that the top hit a coin (or more) to go out the circle. If he reaches that a coin goes out the circle he takes the coin. It's necessary that the top spin because if this don't happen the throwing is not right and he has to put in the circle the coin that went out and to wait one or two turns, it's depend, to throw another time. The game finish when there isn't any coin in the circle.

Se traza un círculo en el suelo de unos 30 cm. de diámetro. Cada jugador pone en su interior una moneda. Para establecer los turnos de lanzamiento se juega "al baile" de forma que el jugador cuya peonza deja de bailar la última es el primero en lanzar y así sucesivamente. El primer jugador lanza su peonza tratando de que golpee alguna moneda con el fin de que ésta salga del círculo. Si lo consigue se queda con la moneda. En cualquier caso, es necesario que la peonza baile ya que en caso contrario el lanzamiento se considera nulo y la persona que lanzó debe esperar uno o dos turnos, depende, antes de lanzar de nuevo, además de devolver al círculo todas las monedas que hubiera sacado durante este lanzamiento nulo. El juego finaliza cuando no quedan monedas en el círculo.
