Kanche (Marbles) is a game from my childhood which I cannot forget till today. It creates a bond between the players and we can’t just leave that game. For some people, it was like an addiction too.

History of Kanche (Marbles)
There is no such information about the history of this game but there was a discovery where they found marbles inside the Tombs of Egypt and some people say that it begins from the time of the Harappan Civilization.
How to Play Kanche (Marbles)
There is nothing complex about this game and the rules are simple just keep the marbles inside a drawn circle and from a distance try to hit as many marbles as possible in your turn.
The number of marbles you hit will be yours and you can continue to hit until you miss your shot.
But sometimes it becomes a challenge to see who gets more marbles and in my childhood, it was like a big thing to have the maximum number of marbles that we won.
Right now, I think it was not that great but, in my childhood, it was a great honor you know.
