Congkak, a traditional board game popular in Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, Thailand, and parts of Sumatera and Borneo, is an exciting indoor activity or contest for two players. Originally, villagers used beach sand and seashells before the invention of wooden Congkak boards. The game features a wooden board with two rows of seven holes named "houses" and two larger "storehouse" holes. Each house contains seven seeds or marbles, while storehouses are empty. Players take turns filling every house with marbles until one lands on an occupied or empty house. If the marble stops at an occupied house, the player must pick up all marbles in that house and distribute them until an empty house or their storehouse is reached. The objective of the game is to accumulate as many marbles in the storehouse as possible to win.
