Content "Chuki. Board. Johore, Malay Peninsula. Chuki is a game played upon a board (papan chuki) in the form of a small table, marked with squares, ten on a side. The four squares in the center of the board are in part occupied with a small raised square (tempat mangkok, "place of bowl"), leaving one hundred and twenty points of intersection exposed, on which sixty white and sixty black men (batu, "stones") are arranged. Two persons play alternately, letting three dice fall in a bowl, which is set on the raised square in the middle, and taking off the board the pieces of the thrower, according to the casts."
