    Sungka is an ancient Filipino game.
    Its history can be traced back to the
    17th century. The game was first
    described by the Jesuit priest Father
    José Sanchez in his dictionary of the
    Bisaya language (Cebuano) in 1692
    as Kunggit. Father José Sanchez,
    who had arrived in the Philippines in
    1643, wrote that the game was
    played with seashells on a wooden,
    boat-like board. The Aklanon people
    still call the game Kunggit
    Sungka, pronounced soong-kah, is a traditional
    Filipino game where two players compete to
    capture the majority of the shells. The game is
    typically played on a long, wooden board that has 9
    holes. Each player has seven smaller holes (houses)
    in front of him and two large holes (head) at each
    end of the board.
