Description

I think I just may be the first person ever to draw a cat and a mouse playing sungka against each other! =p

Niho's been getting all the attention lately, so I decided to draw something for the other two Critter girls, Ming-ming and Mika, just to even the score! Here they are, playing a traditional Filipino game of sungka, and it looks like Ming-ming's winning!

Y'know, ever since I drew this, I've really been getting interested in the game! I even wanna know where I can buy a board, or how I can make one of my own! But that can wait, because I'm finally playing the Bantumi game on my mobile that's been ignored for ages! :D

=============
:bulletgreen: About Sungka :bulletgreen:
=============

Sungka is a game similar to Bantumi and Mancala. The board has two rows of 6 small holes, and two big holes on either side of the board for each player. The object of the game is to pick up shells/stones from the small holes and distribute them one-by-one around the board, including the player's "bahay" or home pot, the big hole on either side. This continues until all the shells/stones are in the players' "bahay" and the one with the most stones wins.

If you have access to older Nokia phones like the 3310 or the 5510 (the one I have), then you can play a game of Bantumi, which is practically the same as Sungka, with some modified rules. =)
