Scope note
Indian board game for four players in opposing partnerships of two in which game pieces are moved around a cross-shaped track. Moves are determined by throws of cowrie shells or dice, and each player begins with four pieces, at the center and moves down the middle track counter clockwise around the outer track of the board. The partnership whose pieces first complete the course by returning to the centre space is the winner.
