#2020-GBCC DAY 1 Games That We Played Traditional Goan Sports

[Albertina Almeida]

Games That We Played Traditional Goan Sports is authored by Maria de Lourdes Bravo da Costa Rodrigues and brings memories of the simple games that were played by those who had their childhood probably right upto the late 70s, or early 80's until electronic games and all took over. The games described include Indoor games such as pretending games  (like Doctor Doctor), board games (snakes and ladders, tiktem, tabblam, waganni, etc), card games ANd also Outdoor Games, such as chasing games, catching games, hiding games, racing games and games of exertion, and games of skill. When I look back, I feel these games had value that you cannot get from the electronic games that seem to make a zombie out of you, At the launch of the book, there was some discussion about actually returning to play those games and reviving them.

The book is self-published - that is, by a family publication of the author called L&L..
