Hi,classmates!

The Weekend

I went to Sacramento with my husband last weekend. Mongolian traditional tournament/game /the Shagai became in Sacramento. My husband attended this tournament.
The game Shagai is Mongolian traditional game and the Shagai is Mongolian word. In English language sources,playing with shagai is called ankle bone shooting. They are played using the 15 small bone's pieces shot at with arrows. The arrow it makes by bone. The small bone's pieces put on the particular counter thas's called the target. In this game, pieces are flicked with the middle finger of one hand, along a wooden board/khashlaga-fence rail/ held on the other hand. The arrow put on the wooden board. The goal is to hit a target piece over a distance of about 10 m.
When who finish to hit 15 small bone's pieces, they will win.
