HISTORY & HERITAGE
A game passed through generations.
Baghchal is a traditional Nepali board game played for generations. Its name combines bagh, meaning tiger, and chal, meaning move. The exact date of its invention is not firmly documented, but the game is well established as part of Nepal's traditional game culture.
Its simple board and unequal sides create a distinctive contest between power, patience and collective strategy.
