Giveaway ToguzKumalak

Funny variant of Toguz Kumalak board game.

Giveaway ToguzKumalak (or Toguz Poddavki) is a board game that was invented by Ralf Gering (Germany) in 2010. In 2022 Yernar Shambayev modified the rules of the game. According to the original author, Toguz Poddavki isn't meant to become a serious game, but to be a funny filler.

Giveaway ToguzKumalak is played according to the same rules as Toguz Kumalak except for the following changes:

1) Moves, which either capture the contents of an opponent's pit (making them even), create a tuzdyk or drop a ball into the player's own tuzdyk, are mandatory. Any other move, including dropping a ball into the opponent's tuzdyk, is only permitted, if none of these is possible.

2) As in the standard game a game is over, when a player cannot move at his turn (ie, he has no kumalaks at his side), and the remaining balls are awarded to the opponent player.

3) The player who captures the majority of balls (i.e. 82 or more) loses.
