MOSES LAKE — Radel Llamas said the game was part of his childhood, but he hadn’t played it in a while.

Llamas wound the string around the brightly colored top, and explained the goal was to make the top, called a trompo, do what he wanted it to.

“You want to get it dancing,” he said.

That part was relatively easy. He snapped the string and the top spun across the bricks in Sinkiuse Square.

“El puente, that’s what they call it,” he said. “That was our internet back in the day.”
