Experience a timeless race and strategy classic with the 7-House Chauka Barah board game—known across regions as Ashta Chamma (Andhra Pradesh), Dayakattai / Thaayam (Tamil Nadu), Chaupar (Rajasthan), and many more. Rooted in centuries of community play, this game blends chance and strategy into an engaging, social experience.
Handcrafted in premium Burma teak wood by skilled rural artisans from Channapatna, the board is designed as a bold square format measuring 23" x 23" x 7.5". Its sturdy build and elegant finish make it ideal for outdoor spaces, restaurants, villa settings, large apartments, and village-style homes, while offering flexibility for both sit-down gameplay and tabletop, standing play.
The set includes 24 coins (6 per player for 4 players), 6 large cowrie shells, and a rule book to guide and enrich the playing experience. A typical 4-player game lasts about an hour, making it perfect for immersive, shared sessions.
Blending craftsmanship, culture, and gameplay, this Chauka Barah board is more than a game—it is a celebration of tradition, strategy, and togetherness.
