Hello!
Thanks for that information on Lucky Star. I'm not surprised that it is different from what we have for Lam Turki; we have a couple of other games like this (Pentalpha, Nao Gutiya Baithaneka) which have slight differences. Lam Turki and Nao Gutiya Baithaneka are played in different parts of India, and Pentalpha is played in Greece. We find that many times, there are very similar games with slight differences in different places.
We can add Lucky Star to Ludii, and it would be great to be able to add some kind of historical or ethnographic data for it for our historical analysis. Do you have any kind of sources which talk about this game? If you got the information from your own work, would you be willing to let us know the specific regions or communities in China where it is played, as well as the date (rough date if necessary) when you first observed or learned about it?
Thanks again for your post!
