Notes (foaf:status): 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.
Another point to note is that the board looks quite similar to Daadi or Nine Men's Morris. Confirm if it is a variant.
