About this Product
This beautiful board game comes from Ancient India and is still played in some villages in Mysore, southwestern India. It bears some resemblance to Backgammon and Tâb and is likely related to one or both of these games. Its first known description in English was by games historian R. C. Bell. The game ends when one player has transferred all of their counters to the opponent's home row. The winner is then determined to be the player who has the most remaining counters on the board. If equal, the player that has completed moving all counters to the opponent's home row first is winner.
The playing board is beautifully engraved with traditional symbols from the region. Finished in beautiful Birch and with hand made Glass Pawns, this game will surely be a wonderful addition to your game collection, not to mention would make a wonderful gift for someone you love.
Board measures 19" long by 5.5" wide. Comes as shown with 24 glass pawns, four casting sticks and instructions.
