Study Notes
Invasion Games Overview
- Invasion games are activities testing players' ability to move into opponent's space, occupy it and defend their own.
- Teams invade opponent's territory, scoring points and preventing the opposing team from scoring within a time frame.
Sungka
- A game played by two players.
- Uses a solid carved wooden board with two rows of seven circular holes and two large holes (houses) at each end.
- Forty-nine small stones, marbles, pebbles, seeds, or shells are used.
- Stones are distributed in the holes, excluding the opponent's house.
Sungka Rules
- Players simultaneously drop one stone into each hole clockwise, excluding the opponent's house.
- If a player runs out of stones, they wait for their turn.
- If stones land in an empty hole in their own row, they collect those stones and place them in their house.
- The game ends when no stones are left on either side of the board; the player with the most stones wins.
- Last stone placement: If the last stone is placed in the player's house they choose a hole to gather stones. If the last stone is placed in an empty hole, the player is "dead" and loses their turn.
- The next player can select any hole to begin their turn.
Skills Developed in Sungka
- Hand speed: Quickly moving stones into holes.
- Eye-hand coordination: Correctly dropping stones into the intended holes.
