Dash Guti

Experience the thrill of Dash Guti - the classic Indian "war game" adored by generals!

Dash Guti — meaning 'Ten Pieces' in Bengali — originated in the Central Provinces of ancient India and remains widely played across Bengal, Odisha, and Northeast India today. The name itself reflects the game's core mechanic: each player commands exactly ten pieces on a distinctive bow-shaped board with triangular grids

Related to draughts and alquerque, Dash Guti's distinctive board and initial piece placement creates complex tactical play. Carefully move your pieces to trap and outmaneuver your rival.

Dash Guti belongs to a family of ancient war games found across South Asia — related to Alquerque, the Moorish game that spread through medieval Europe and eventually gave rise to modern draughts and checkers. Its presence across Bengal and Odisha for centuries speaks to how deeply embedded strategic play was in everyday Indian life.

Our crafted Dash Guti set evokes the feel of ancient India. The handcrafted wooden board with natural materials provides an authentic, organic play experience spanning cultures.

Dash Guti is more than a game — it is a piece of living history. A gift that carries centuries of cultural wisdom into a modern home, and starts conversations that last long after the celebration ends.

This game is also available personalized for your special occasion. We laser-engrave the board with your name, message, or event details — making it a unique keepsake for weddings, cultural celebrations, and corporate gifting.
