Sungka
The game of sungka at Candelaria must have really rubbed off. Bought one on the way home after office... c",)
Sungka is a traditional Filipino game wherein each player have set of cups/holes containing stones or shells. The aim is to amass the most shells in your home base (bahay)--the big hole at the left--by distributing the shells in the smaller holes in a clockwise direction.
There are similar games as the sungka--Mancala, Bantumi, Kalah, Omweso, Bao, Oware... The difference is the number of small holes and direction by which you distribute the shells.

hehehe...one of our favorite past times when i was young. i was asking my mom to buy one before pero sabi nya masama daw may ganon sa bahay kse nilalaro lang daw yun pag may patay sa bahay. well, baka noong araw yun coz pag pumupunta naman ako sa patay ngayon walang nagsusungka. hmmmm??
hehehe! actually, mali nga. bawal laruin ang sungka kapag may patay...
yung sungka nga po buy ko, tinago ko sa bodega. at kapag laro kami, sa labas ng bahay... kaya sinabi na masama may sungka sa bahay kasi nga dahil kapag kulang yung shells mo, may "sunog" na bahay ka. ;)
Pag may patay, mahjong na ang nilalaro sa probinsya. Hindi naman naging malas ang mahjong kahit kailan 🤗
