Thank you so much for sharing that! I’ve been looking for something exactly like this — not just about games, but with historical and cultural context too. Sounds like a really enriching read. I’m definitely going to dive into it tonight.

Oh absolutely, I’m the same way — I love learning about where games really came from, especially when they’re tied to culture and history. Most people think of gambling in terms of casinos or apps, but it’s actually been around for ages in all kinds of forms. I recently found an article that goes into India’s traditional gambling games, and it completely pulled me in. It explains how some games, like Chopad, have roots in rural Gujarat and were used not just for fun, but as a form of social bonding and even strategy during farming seasons. What surprised me most was how these games weren’t always about big winnings — often, it was about connection, tradition, and rituals. The article https://www.5dariyanews.com/news/456812-Indias-Homegrown-Gambling-Games-That-Survived-Centuries even touches on tribal communities in places like Jharkhand where handmade dice games are still part of daily life. If you’re into the idea of games as cultural artifacts rather than just entertainment, this is a fascinating read. It brings to light the kind of gaming that’s rarely mentioned in mainstream media. Definitely recommend checking out India’s Homegrown Gambling Games That Survived Centuries — it’ll shift how you see gambling traditions.
