We learned to fight from games where only one side wins 🍰

Never Give Up

In Japan, "Never give up and fight to the end" is often seen as a good thing.

Win or Lose

Entrance exams and club tournaments are games where if someone wins, someone loses.

Again and Again

We played games like that many times, so we may believe, "I must fight even if I cannot win."

⚡ TRY IT
One cake, two forks
Pull the cake to one side. What happens to the other penguin?
Tap fast! The cake moves 1 step each time.
One penguin wins, one penguin loses. 😢 Is this the only game?
Now there are 2 cakes. Both penguins win! 🎉
😋 Happy penguins: 0/2
More Cakes

But in grown-up life, not every game has only 1 cake.
