      Similarly, the oriental riff often used in movies is a western creation

      You’re pretty lucky/privileged if this is your first time making that realization 😂

    Ah, Halma as we call it in Germany. Sadly it’s not too popular (being played) but still popular enough to be included in every basic collection.

      Back in the 70s/80s in the US everyone seemed to have a board but nobody seemed to play it.

      Anecdotally, funnily enough, it’s somewhat popular in China

    Is there another game people also call Chinese checkers? This looks unfamiliar but I feel like I’ve been asked if I want to play a few times in early school years. Maybe my mind has just deteriorated too much though

      Hmm, are you thinking of Go or Xiangqi?
