Congkak
Congkak
A two-player counting-and-strategy board game. Sow marbles around the board and try to collect more in your storehouse than your opponent — land your last marble in an empty hole on your side, and you capture everything opposite.
Batu Seremban
Batu Seremban
Played with five small stones or seed-filled bags. Toss the "mother" piece into the air while picking up the rest from the ground — the challenge increases through six levels, from picking up one at a time to a final one-handed sweep.
Ceper
Ceper
A children's game played with five metal bottle caps. Catch them off the back of your hand to set turn order, then scatter, stack and flick to knock out your opponent's chosen cap without disturbing the rest.
Gasing
Gasing
Malaysia's traditional spinning top. Wrap the cord tightly, launch it with a sharp pull, and see whose top can spin the longest — or knock the others out of the arena.
Sepak Takraw
Sepak Takraw
A fast, acrobatic sport mixing volleyball, football and gymnastics — players use feet, knees, chest and head, never hands, to send a woven rattan ball over the net.
