The game Surakarta, named after the Javanese city, probably originates from the same region: Indonesia. Two players have to move their pieces strategically in order to capture their opponent's pieces. The movement of the pieces across the arches of the board requires a great deal of concentration from the players.
This game is traditionally played on the Indonesian island of Java. A game board was and is not always necessary. It is sufficient to draw the lines in the sand and play with shells and stones. Unfortunately, it is not possible to say how old the game is.
Our board games are burnt onto leather, so they last a long time. And the game almost packs itself for transport. The only thing you have to do is press the game down slightly with one finger in the centre of the playing field, pull the string and the game has packed itself. It should stay that way for transport. So all you have to do now is push the bead up to the bag that has just formed and the game is packed ready for travelling. The games can be used in this way on hikes, on bike tours, in the car or even on long flights. The games are packed so small that the pocket of a jacket is sufficient to take this pleasant form of entertainment with you.
