Most of the traditional Mongolian games of skill and chance are played with the ankle bones of sheep (and therefore difficult to recreate outside a ger). However we did learn a card game while staying with a nomadic family out on the Mongolian steppe and in our attempt to spread Mongol culture, we’ve included the rules below.
It’s a great game with a tricky strategy that definitely takes a few games to pick up. We’ve taught it to our family in South Korea and after 2 games to get the jist of it, they love it! This is definitely becoming a new family card came.
