what we will do with the data on games: we have to make a spreadsheet of all the games. we have to send messages to those who have mentioned less known or games unknown to us to get more information. Then we should divide the games on the basis of the uncertainty or strategic skill involved. That is, is it possible to master a winning strategy or the game uses simple randomness like ludo or snake and ladder. later we will analyze the gaming strategies with gender, location( village or city), age etc. We will then see whether our hypothesis about bias towards randomness having been waned out in the recent time is true or not? Are the strategic choice games making younger people less patient, lesser appreciation of equanimity, greater vulnerability under stress etc., and less tolerant of fluctuations in life being a normal part of living( surely such a mindset will fail to adapt to climate change consequences as well).. If so, then we have to share our findings and encourage younger people to reflect on what are they doing with their imagination, how is it affecting the kind of world we create for ourselves and out grandchildren....

  I remember playing: Pakadam pati ( one child chases others, whoever he catches has to do the chasing next.) Satoliya (seven squared stones one over the other, played with a ball) Ang-bang-chok-chang (a ludo like game, drawn on the floor, tamarind seeds used as 'dice'.

  I played, King- where one person will throw ball to touch others, and they join in, and the last person standing was King ful-racket - It's far different than badminton :D kanche- Lakhoti(in Gujarati)- Marbels used to be fun that times langdi - where one person did langdi and catched all others with one legged steps only and many more
