Welcome

Dear reader, welcome, we are glad to have you here. As the text in the banner says, this blog is a window into the world of traditional board games of India. We are a team of three - R.G. Singh, Dharmendra and Dr. C.R. Dileep Kumar - who go around and visit towns, villages, temples, etc., and gather information on board games in our own way and document them. This blog contains some titbits, stories, game rules, etc., which we find, encounter and experience during our field trips. Please feel free to comment. We would be glad to answer any of your queries or doubts. If there are any mistakes please bring it to our knowledge. Thank you. Enjoy reading.

Note:
Few of the board games featured here are available at 'Ramsons' the largest handicraft shop of Mysore. The shop is right in front of Zoo (Chamarajendra Zoological Gardens) a famous tourist destination in Mysore.
