Adugo

Adugo, also known as Jogo da Onça (Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation: ['ʒogo da ˈõ.sɐ], lit. 'Jaguar Game') is a two-player abstract strategy game from the Bororo tribe in the Pantanal region of Brazil. It is a hunting game similar to those in Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent. It is especially similar to komikan, rimau, rimau-rimau, main tapal empat, and bagha-chall as they all use an alquerque-based board. Adugo is specifically a tiger hunt game (or tiger game). Komikan may be the same game as adugo. Komikan is the name given by the Mapuches in Chile. In adugo, the jaguar ("adugo", in Bororo's language) is hunting the dogs ("arikau"). The game is also known as jaguar and dogs. It is thought that the Spanish brought alquerque to the Americas, and this accounts for the use of the alquerque board in this game.
