- Description (dcterms:description)
- This game was documented by Charu Chandra Das Gupta in Kumrahar, in Bihar. It is played by two players each having twenty pieces. The central point marked O is left vacant. The method of playing this game is exactly similar to that of the game called Ram-tir also documented in the essay. The main point of interest regarding this game is that in each of the sixteen small square courts there is a cross-point in the centre which is occupied by a piece. On each side there are such eight cross-points on which each player places eight of his twenty pieces.

- Rules (dcterms:instructionalMethod)
-
5x5 intersecting lines, with diagonals in each square formed by the lines. Twenty pieces per player, which each player places on the points on their side of the board, as well as the two points to the left of the central space. The central spot remains empty. Players alternate turns by moving a piece to an adjacent empty spot along the lines on the board. A player may capture an opponent's piece by hopping over one adjacent piece if there is an empty spot behind it along a line on the board. The player who captures all of the opponent's pieces wins.
