Dama (checkers)
This is a familiar game and familiar pastime that uses skill, usually played by males 10 years old and above, and played either indoors or outdoors. The game is played on a small wooden board with squares and end points. The checkers (dama) pieces are comprised of 24 pitsas made from pieces of small bamboo, stones, or bottles caps, with the players having 12 pieces each. The players position the 12 pieces of pitsa on the end points of the diagram. The players move alternately from from point to point. Like chess, the game ends once the opponents pitsas are captured or literally eaten, especially the dama or queen.

Taguan (hide and seek)
This game has no limit to both boys and girls of ages between 5 to 15. This is played outdoors during daytime and on moonlit nights. Children are most often discouraged by parents partly due to a belief in unseen spirits that might harm their children. The game starts in an unidentified base where the 'it' closes his eyes and counts to 100 while the other players start hiding. After the count, the 'it' start looking for the rest of the players. Once found, one is automatically out of the game. In some provinces though, once a player is found, the 'it' will have to run to the base and touch it while the found player tries to beat him to it. When the found player beats the 'it,' he remains 'it' until everyone else is located.
