There is a game that has been around since I was little, even since my eldest brother was little, maybe it has been around since 60 - 70 years ago, it's called "Congklak". Congklak is a traditional Indonesian game that involves strategy, precision, and counting skills. The game is played with a wooden board with holes and seeds, where players try to collect the most seeds in their respective homes. I think you guys should try it, it's really fun. For details, you can Google or search on the internet.

A roughly similar game we used to play in our childhood. We used to dig pits on bare ground and used pebbles as counters. I spent my childhood with tea estate workers' children on Himalayan plains.
