INDIGENOUS

OR
TRADITIONAL GAMES

Presented by: Group 3

 INTRODUCTION
Nowadays, it is not possible to live entirely apart from the social group. Through
participation in indigenous games, one can find satisfaction, enjoyment and
camaraderie. Indigenous games come from different places in our country. The rules
of the games were modified as these were handed down from generation to
generation. Different regions have different games depending on the culture and
location. Some indigenous games are Harangang Taga which is commonly known as
Patintero or Tubigan, Taguan, Araw at Gabi, Sungka, MoroMoro, Luksong Baka and
Luksong Tinik.

 SUNGKA
ORIGIN: CABANATUAN CITY
PLAYERS: TWO PLAYERS SETTING: INDOOR/OUTDOOR
Sungka was first described by the Jesuit priest Father Jose Sanchez in
his dictionary of the Bisaya language(=Cebuano)in 1692 [manuscript]
as Kunggit. Father José Sanchez who had arrived on the Philippines in
1643 wrote that at the game was played with seashells on a wooden,
boat-like board. The Aklanon people still call the game Kunggit. José
Sanchez (born Josef Zanzini [*1616-1692) in Trieste, Holy Roman
Empire of the German Nation) is known for founding the town of
Jagna on Bohol, which is today famous for its rich historical heritage.
 PROCEDURES
1. A player must drop only one shell at a time into every small hole (bahay) andinto
the big hole (mother hole) at the left side of each player.
2. Any of the players must not drop shells into a burnt house. If he does, theother
player can get it and place it in his mother hole.
3. A burnt house can only be refilled in the next game after a complete set of seven
tokens in the owner’s mother hole isacquired.
4. If it is dropped in an empty hole of the opponent’s side, he is declared dead. He
stops playing.
5. If it is dropped in an empty hole in one’s own row, he is also declared dead, but if
there are shells opposite that last hole, he gets them all (kain) and puts them in his
mother hole.
6. If it is dropped in a filled hole, all contents are scooped out and distributed around.
7. If it is dropped in his own mother hole, he is entitled to choose the shells to be
distributed again. If he chooses to get shells from the nearest hole (adjacent to
mother hole), and if it happens to have only one shell, it is called “subi” or “sampa”(advance)
 RULES

The game is played as many rounds as long as there are shells in play on
either side.

player with the most number of shells in the mother hole wins.
