[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

[edit] Unusual Features

The list of "Games with Unusual Features" seems spurious. Those games do not seem to have unusual features. Shouldn't those four be moved to the general alphabetical list?
