Toguz Korgool belongs to the family of games known as Mancala. The word mancala originates from a term meaning \u201cto move\u201d or \u201cmovement.\u201d<\/p>\n
In Toguz Korgool, the Kyrgyz version of this ancient game, the objective is to collect as many korgools as possible. The word toguz means \u201cnine.\u201d Each player has nine pits, and each pit initially contains nine korgools. The number nine holds sacred significance among the nomadic Turkic peoples, including the Kyrgyz.\n\nIn the Kyrgyz language, korgool refers to sheep droppings. Historically, however, the game was played using small stones that resembled sheep droppings in both shape and size.<\/p>\n
For the nomadic Turkic peoples, including the Kyrgyz, the significance of Toguz Korgool lay in its role as a tool for developing military and strategic thinking during times of peace. The game is based on the concepts of conquering an opponent\u2019s forces, wealth, and possessions. Each korgool symbolically represents a warrior.<\/p>\n
One of the key features that distinguishes Toguz Korgool from other Mancala games is a unique rule requiring that, when stones are captured from a pit, one stone must always remain in that pit. This reflects the traditional Turkic nomadic principle of preserving the ancestral hearth and maintaining the continuity of the family home.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
