Pancha Keliya
- Rediscover the joy of traditional Sri Lankan board games with Pancha! This beloved game has been cherished for generations, particularly during the festive Sinhala and Tamil New Year season. Our mission is to revive the awareness and popularity of these traditional games, connecting people with their cultural heritage.
- Pancha is played using five small seashells and a coconut shell, which adds an authentic touch to the game. However, recognizing the challenges of sourcing these materials, we have developed a modified version that utilizes a dice and a playboard, accompanied by beautifully crafted wooden pieces. This allows players to experience the essence of Pancha while ensuring accessibility and ease of play.
- The game is designed for two groups, providing an exciting opportunity for children and parents to engage in friendly competition and foster meaningful interactions. By playing Pancha, families can come together, bond, and share in the joy of this traditional pastime.
- The gameboard itself measures 307mm x 427mm, providing ample space for players to strategize and make their moves. The captivating design of the board reflects the cultural richness of Sri Lanka, immersing players in a vibrant and engaging gameplay experience.
- Pancha offers more than just entertainment; it nurtures cognitive skills, critical thinking, and decision-making abilities. Players must employ tactics, calculate probabilities, and anticipate their opponents’ moves, fostering a sense of strategic thinking and problem-solving.
- Suitable for players aged 7 and above, Pancha is a game that bridges generations, creating moments of laughter, friendly competition, and shared memories. It serves as a delightful reminder of the importance of preserving and cherishing traditional games in our modern world.
- Join us in celebrating the heritage of Sri Lankan board games with Pancha. Let this timeless game inspire camaraderie, cultural appreciation, and the joy of play.
