This game has been documented by Charu Chandra Das Gupta at Jowai in Meghalaya. He draws similarities of this two player game with another game called Ahtarah gutti and with other variants such as Lum Pusri
or Sipahi Kat in the Teesta Valley below Darjeeling in Ben- gal, Mughal-Pathan in the Twenty-four Parganas, Howrah and Hooghly districts in Bengal, and as Sholaguti Mangalapata in Vikrampur in East Bengal as far as the rules are seen. - Alternative Title (dcterms:alternative)
- Atharah Guti, Lam Pusri, Mughal Pathan, Sholaguti
- Rules (dcterms:instructionalMethod)
- This game is played by two men, each holding 14 ballets marked X and O in his possession according to the image provided in the text. The rule is that one player starts the game and moves one of his pieces from one cross- point to another and takes hold of the piece of the other man if the cross-point next to it is vacant. In this way the player who can capture all the pieces of the opponent wins the game.

To Note : According to Das Gupta the rules of how the game is played differs from the diagram of the board made in the text so the game still remains unclear at the moment.
Another point to note is that when this essay was written the region of Jowai was part of the state of Assam hence it is mentioned as that in the chapter but currently as the map also locates, it lies in Meghalaya. - Tags (dcterms:conformsTo)
