Mired in the restrictions that measly pocket money inevitably creates, primary school students survived their childhood years by celebrating the greatness that ten cents and youthful innocence can provide – the eraser game/kootikooti.

Several versions of this game exist and they include playing with erasers or kootikooti (tiny plastic animals) to either land on top of the opponent’s item or to knock the opponent’s item off the playing surface. Clearly, the easy affordability of the playing tools has ensured the longevity of this game.

With erasers costing between ten to thirty cents, children can still spend their days competing over uncomplicated matters such as erasers.
