[edit] Chunca
I have scoured the internet as to where I can buy the Philippine version of Mancala (chuncajon or chunca), a wooden board with 16 depressions and marbles or stones. Can anyone tell me where I can purchase this game? Thanks, jesswrites03[at]yahoo[dot]com (please change "[at]" and "[dot]" to "@" and ".", this is used a measure to prevent spam email.)
- Just build one yourself, not too difficult.
[edit] Hus
I cannot see in how far the Namibian game //Hus can be seen as more a game of chance than the others. 213.23.143.15 23:16, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Alphabetized
I alphabetized the lhe list of other games. I pulled out the following items for the reasons following the item.
- //Hus The board is 4×8
- is mentioned in the section just before.
- [[Abangah]] ([[Azande|Niam-Niam]] in Sudan)
- removed the reference to Niam-Niam. It seems to be more a (derogatory) name for the culture playing it, rather than the game itself.
- Chungeajon (Philippines)
- almost identical spelling, same country.
- [[Congklak|Dakon]] (Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines)
- changed to just [[Dakon]] which redirects to Congklak anyway.
- Mancal
- is this actually a fully distinct name?
Didn't pull the following, but somone familiar with these games might want to verify if these are actually names for these games and where they are played?
- La'b Madjnuni
- La'b Hakimi
- La'b Akila
- La'b Roseya
- Li'b al-ghashim
