In Nepal, the traditional Tigers and Goats (Bagh Chal, Moving Tigers) brass boards are well-worn with use.

This Bagh Chal board game comes with a hand sewn bag and the game board is an authentic, brand new, hand made original.

Note: Being a soft metal. the brass may display some marks, dents or colour change with use. This ageing is normal and to some, charming, and to be expected. To return the bright clear gold of the board simply give it an ocassional polish with brass cleaner.

The reward is worth it.

Cast brass wood plus Cotton drawstring bag for pieces. Instructions for playing Tigers and Goats are included.

Dimensions: Large. Approx 30cm square.
