Alquerque Board At Starting Position 2
Alquerque (also known as Qirkat from ar, القرقات) is a Abstract strategy game, strategy board game that is thought to have originated in the Middle East. It is considered to be the parent of draughts (US: checkers) and Fanorona. History The game first appears in literature late in the 10th century when Abu al-Faraj al-Isfahani mentioned Qirkat in his 24-volume work ''Kitab al-Aghani'' ("Book of Songs"). This work, however, made no mention of the rules of the game. In ''Board and Table Games from Many Civilizations'', Robert Charles Bell, R. C. Bell writes that "when the Moors invaded Spain they took El-quirkat with them". Rules are included in ''Libro de los juegos'' ("Book of games") commissioned by Alfonso X of Castile in the 13th century. Spain, Spanish settlers in New Mexico introduced a four-player variant of Alquerque to the Zuni people, Zuni.

Komikan
Komikan (from the Mapuche kom ikan "to eat all") is a two-player abstract strategy board game of the Mapuches (known by the Spaniards as the Araucanians) from Chile and Argentina. The same game is also played by the Incas under the name Taptana, Komina, Comina, Cumi, Puma, or Inca Chess. In modern Quechua, the language of the ethnolinguistic group that are the descendants of the Incas, Taptana means "chess". It is known by the Aymaras, a neighboring ethnolinguistic group to the Quechuan people, as kumisiña. Throughout South America the game is known as El león y las ovejas which literally means "the lion and the sheep". The lion is actually a puma as there are no lions native to the Americas. The Mapuches also call it El Leoncito. J. I. Molina, in 1787, described it as ‘''el artificioso juego del ajedrez, al cual dan el nombre de comican''’ which translates to "''the ingenious game of chess to which they (the Mapuche) give the name comican''". Komikan may actually be ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Kharbaga
Kharbaga is a two-player abstract strategy game from North Africa. In a way, it is a miniature version of Zamma; however, there are more diagonal lines per square on the board as compared to Zamma. The game is considered part of the Zamma family. The game is also similar to Alquerque and draughts. The board is essentially an Alquerque board with twice the number of diagonal lines or segments allowing for greater freedom of movement. The initial setup is also similar to Alquerque, where every space on the board is filled with each player's pieces except for the middle point of the board. Moreover, each player's pieces are also set up on each player's half of the board. The game specifically resembles draughts in that pieces must move in the forward directions until they are crowned " Mullah" (or "Sultan") which is the equivalent of the King in draughts. The Mullah can move in any direction. It is unknown how old the game is; however, the idea that pieces must move forward until they ...

English Draughts
English draughts (British English) or checkers (American English), also called straight checkers or simply draughts, is a form of the strategy board game checkers (or draughts). It is played on an 8×8 checkerboard with 12 pieces per side. The pieces move and capture diagonally forward, until they reach the opposite end of the board, when they are crowned and can thereafter move and capture both backward and forward. As in all forms of draughts, English draughts is played by two opponents, alternating turns on opposite sides of the board. The pieces are traditionally black, red, or white. Enemy pieces are captured by jumping over them. The 8×8 variant of draughts was weakly solved in 2007 by a team of Canadian computer scientists led by Jonathan Schaeffer. From the standard starting position, both players can guarantee a draw with perfect play. Pieces Though pieces are traditionally made of wood, now many are made of plastic, though other materials may be used. Pieces are t ...

Buga-shadara
Buga-shadara, also known as Bouge Shodre, is a two-player abstract strategy board game from Tuva, a republic in Siberia, Russia. It is a hunt game where one player plays the deer (which is "buga" in the Tuva language). There are two deer usually represented as the black pieces. The boars are also referred black in the referenced article "Buga-shadara a folk game from Tuva". The other player has 24 white pieces with dogs associated to them. The board consist of an Alquerque board flanked on two of its opposite sides by a square patterned board (referred to as "side-houses" in the referenced article). Because the board is in part an Alquerque board, this makes Buga-shadara a tiger hunt game (or tiger game). What makes Buga-shadara unique among tiger games are the expansion boards on the two opposite sides of the Alquerque board. They are square, whereas most are triangle-like. The word "shadara" resembles the word "shahdara". The "shah" part "is a title given to the emperors/kin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bagh-Chal
''Bagh-Chal'' ( ne, ''bāgh cāl'', new, धुँ कासा ''dhun kasa'' meaning "tiger game") is a strategic, two-player board game that originated in Nepal. The game is asymmetric in that one player controls four tigers and the other player controls up to twenty goats. The tigers 'hunt' the goats while the goats attempt to block the tigers' movements. This game is also seen in southern India with a different board, but the rules are the same. This game is popular in rural areas of the country. Overview The game is played on a 5×5 point grid, like alquerque. Pieces are positioned at the intersection of the lines and not inside the areas delimited by them. Directions of valid movement between these points are connected by lines. The game play takes place in two phases. In the first phase the goats are placed on the board while the tigers are moved. In the second phase both the goats and the tigers are moved. For the tigers, the objective is to "capture" five goats to win. ...

Bagh Bandi
Bagh bandi is a two-player abstract strategy board game from Lower Bengal, India. It is a hunt game. It uses an Alquerque board, and therefore, Bagh bandi is specifically a tiger hunt game (or tiger game). There are two tigers attempting to elude and capture as many goats while the goats are attempting to surround and trap the tigers. An uncommon feature in this game is that the goats are piled up on four points of the board at the beginning of the game. The only other hunt game to use this feature is Sher-bakar, a game closely related to Bagh bandi. Goal The goats win if they surround and immobilize the two tigers. The tigers win if they capture enough goats so that they cannot immobilize the tigers. Equipment The board is an Alquerque board. There are 2 tigers represented as 2 black pieces. There are 20 goats represented as 20 white pieces. Gameplay #Players decide who will play which animal. #In the beginning, the 2 tigers are placed on the middle column. Spec ...

Adugo
Adugo is a two-player abstract strategy game from the Bororo tribe in the Pantanal region of Brazil. It is a hunting game similar to those in Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent. It is especially similar to Komikan, Rimau, Rimau-rimau, Main Tapal Empat, and Bagha-Chall as they all use an Alquerque-based board. Adugo is specifically a tiger hunt game (or tiger game). Komikan may be the same game as Adugo. Komikan is the name given by the Mapuches in Chile. In Adugo, the jaguar ("adugo", in Bororo's language) is hunting the dogs. The jaguar (Panthera onca) is called "onça". The dogs are called "cachorro". The game is also known as Jaguar and Dogs.
