The back-and-forth of hooking eyes from a stack and pulling them out. Whoever topples the tower of eyes loses — but the fallen eyes then belong to the loser, and those eyes hold a special value. (The Japanese title plays on hikeme, a nagging sense of inferiority or guilt, which can also be read literally as "pulled eyes.")

Translated from the artist's original Japanese caption (view in Japanese).
