Spoofing is a non-contact activity defined in the Encyclopedia of Sport and Recreation as an ancient art of mental calculation played among Gentlemen. Spoofing has its imitators, such as the NZ pub game of "matches", however true Spoofing is played with coins.

The game, though not the name, is based on a Dutch Royal Court game of some centuries ago. That, anyway, is what Spoofers propose although there are some local skeptics who believe it was invented in Korea 5,000 years ago.

Spoofing is done in groups or 'schools'. Each member of the school holds three coins. He presents, hidden in the fist, any number of those coins or none at all. Spoofers then call, in turn, what they believe to be the total number of coins in circulation, and it is in this progressive assessment of the total number of coins held by the School that the art lies.

The Seoul Gentlemen Spoofers was founded in 1993 by Andy "GBH" Grieve of England and held its inaugural Championship in 1994, won by two-time World Spoofing Champion, Murray Mexted of New Zealand. The Seoul School has been strongly represented in international and World Championships since then.

An Autumn Spoofing Championship was held in 1996 and reintroduced in 2000 and in 2001 the Winter Spoofing Championship was inaugurated.

The Seoul Gentlemen Spoofers is unique in that, along only with the Dublin and Paris schools, it includes Ladies within its definition of Gentlemen.
