Terhüchü (Terhuchu)DLP Game   

Period Modern

Region Southern Asia

Category Board, War, Leaping, Lines

Description

Terhüchü is a leaping capture game played on an expanded Alquerque board. It was played by the Naga people in the early twentieth century, but is likely to be much older.

Rules

Played on a board similar to Perali Kotuma, with the addition of triangular extensions on the four corners. Play begins with nine pieces for each player. Pieces move along the lines to the next open space. Opponent's pieces can be captured by hopping over them. Within the triangular extensions, pieces may move two places at a time, in a straight line. The player to capture all of the opponent's pieces wins.

Hutton 1921: 101-102.
