Examples:
sungkà n a game for two played with a board and pieces, the object of which is to get as many pieces as possible.
The board consists of two rows of five or seven holes each, each row assigned to one of the two players, and a hole at either end, each assigned as a home base (balay or balayan) of one of the players.
One player picks up a given number of the pieces and distributes them on the board, one piece in each hole.
At whatever hole the last piece is dropped, the player picks up all the pieces in it and continues on dropping pieces until he runs out, picks up the pieces in the hole where he ran out, and so forth until he comes to a hole with nothing in it, in which case the opponent gets the turn.
Pieces are gained in three ways: (1) a stone is gained each time the home base is passed; (2) when the pieces run out in the players row opposite a hole in the opponents row with pieces in it, they go to the player (hantuk); or (3) when the throw ends in the hole immediately before the home base the pieces in that hole revert to the player (sáka, 4).
v [A12] play sungkà.
