Il Pallanguzhi, un mancala dell'area indiana

(E così scopriamo anche come si pronuncia Pallanguzhi, mentre al Castello d'Albertis / Museo delle culture del mondo non siamo ancora riusciti a giocare a Congklak). Video della Tamil Virtual University.

This game is popular among the kids and old people. This game is encouraged for the kids to learn to count, to improve the eye-hand coordination while playing. And for the older people of the house, to spend time in the company of the young members of the family.

Pallanguzhi is also played in Sri Lanka, Trinidad, Guyana and Singapore, with a sizable Indian population living in those countries.

Sarà difficile, immaginiamo, trovare i semi di tamarindo, che si usano in alternativa ai cauri del video.
