Togyzkumalak in Space!
Togyzkumalak Board Launched into Space
On September 9th at 09:09, the first games of Togyzkumalak were played as part of the 5th World Nomad Games.
Participants made their first moves on a 9-player board, competing with great speed.
A particularly significant event was the launch of the Togyzkumalak board into space.
According to an agreement with the Russian space agency, the board with stones was launched into the stratosphere for the first time as part of the Nomad Games and then successfully returned to Earth.
This event is not only significant for board game enthusiasts but for the entire country, as Togyzkumalak has become the first board game to travel to space.
The Togyzkumalak tournament features 114 participants from 41 countries, including Colombia, Bangladesh, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, the USA, China, Latvia, Africa, and Arab countries.
