Namaste all,

I keep mentioning I like video games, but for this topic I want to...unplug, so to speak. I want to talk about games that don't need electricity. More specifically, I want to ask about the kinds of games that ancient India has possibly developed. I'm sure there have had to been some games that can be traced back to ancient India...

A Google search on the topic doesn't provide much information. Even Wikipedia has sparse information on the topic, with a few exceptions such as Parcheesi (which has been turned into a heavily marketed game by Mattel, I think). So I'm genuinely curious if anyone has any information on what games were developed or popularized in ancient India?
