This was so much fun! It was great to feature a special celebratory themed reaction video (the same with the Chinese foods for Chinese New Year). I loved learning about these traditional games that are so different (for the most part - apart from the Hackey-sack/Chines shuttlecock game which I was familiar with). I will be keeping this reaction to watch it a number more times too to get to know the games better. I also loved the fact that these were games that you teamed various sets of 2 people to compete in them in a short timeframe - increasing their energy levels to try to win. The results were fun for the viewer & obviously even more fun for the participants. I hope that you will continue to do cultural celebration things for various cultures ie. Cinco de Mayo, Eid, (Canadian Victoria Day - where you could feature old English - foods/games/dances etc. Canadian Victoria Day is the 1st Monday before (I think it was switched to before) May 24 - Queen Victoria's birthday. I guess you could do contemporary Canadian games/music/foods - apart from ones you've already done/trivia etc. on Canada Day - July 1 [every year].) There is some sort of colour war (I think) that is an Indian (from India) tradition on a particular day - & many more for different cultural groups. Whenever there is a special Philipino holiday, that includes dancing, you should get the group to try the dancing between the bamboo sticks that tap & then snap together (so your foot had better be clear! - they don't have to snap closed hard though. The bamboo sticks then start tapping & snapping together faster & faster. I've tried it once & it was a lot of fun!) I really did love this! Well done.

Most of these are pretty fun. Although the fingers one is a drinking game we call "chai mui" in Cantonese (猜枚) or "cai quan/hua quan" in Mandarin (猜拳/划拳), with a lot of variations, the one most common and easiest in Hong Kong is 15-20, which is 2 pairs of hands, either open palm or closed fist, and two players call out in turn either: all closed, 5, 10, 15, or all open, representing how many thumbs and fingers are in play. if one guessed correctly, the other has to drink. Another common variant is one person finger points a direction(up down left or right) to make the guess, and whether it matches the other person's head turn. It's either that or various dice games from a dice cup.
