  • Buga-shadara, also known as Bouge Shodre, is a two-player abstract strategy board game from Tuva, a republic in Siberia, Russia. It is a hunt game where one player plays the deer (which is "buga" in the Tuva language). There are two deer usually represented as the black pieces. The boars are also referred black in the referenced article "Buga-shadara a folk game from Tuva". The other player has 24 white pieces with dogs associated to them. The board consist of an Alquerque board flanked on two of its opposite sides by a square patterned board (referred to as "side-houses" in the referenced article). Because the board is in part an Alquerque board, this makes Buga-shadara a tiger hunt game (or tiger game). What makes Buga-shadara unique among tiger games are the expansion boards on the two opposite sides of the Alquerque board. They are square, whereas most are triangle-like. The word "shadara" resembles the word "shahdara". The "shah" part "is a title given to the emperors/kings and lords of Iran (historically also known as Persia).". There is a place called Shahdara Bagh in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan, and it's thought that the word "Shahdara can be translated as "the way of kings". Shah translates as "king" and dara translates as the way of kings." The referenced article associates the boars (the two black pieces) as kings. Perhaps the boars or deer are kings, and have to find a way or have a way with the white pieces or dogs. A variant of the game allows for White to move one of its pieces immediately after it drops a piece in the beginning portion of the game. Buga-shadara is similar to Rimau-rimau especially Version B where the eight men are placed initially around the eight points of the central square, leaving the middle point vacant. Other than having slightly different board designs, there are 22 men in Version B of Rimau-rimau as opposed to 24 men in Buga-shadara. The opening play is also different. There seems to be no additional opening procedures for Buga-shadara, whereas, in Rimau-rimau, the tigers are allowed to initially remove one man from the board, and reallocate one of its tigers onto any vacant point. Furthermore, in Rimau-rimau the tiger can capture an odd number of enemy pieces. (en)
