Origin[]

First made popular in the 1920s, yo-yoing remains a popular pastime of many generations and cultures. It was first invented in ancient Greece. In the simplest play, the string is intended to be wound on the spool by hand; the yo-yo is thrown downwards, hits the end of the string, then winds up the string toward the hand, and finally the yo-yo is grabbed, ready to be thrown again.

This yo-yo is a simple Russell yo-yo made for a championship back in the day.

Today[]

Artie collected this on a trip that had to involve him snagging a few toy based artifacts, this one was on the list.

Effects[]

When struck with the yo-yo, the cord wraps tightly around the user, effectively ensnaring them. After a while, the pressure will cut off the person's circulation, and the rope will then pull in even tighter and crush their ribs and lungs.
