Congkak has been played since ancient times, with the oldest evidence found in Jordan dating back to 5000-7000 BC. It spread from the Middle East to Africa and Asia, where it is known by different names such as Southeast Asian Mancalas, Congklak, and Sungka. Congkak is played with seeds or counters, which are usually made from small cowrie shells, pebbles, or tamarind seeds. The board is canoe-shaped and consists of five or seven holes in a row called 'kampung', with a mother hole known as 'Rumah' at both ends. Congkak boards are typically made of thick trunks of trees measuring 80cm to 1 meter long and 18cm to 20cm wide.
