Adugo

Adugo, also known as Jogo da Onca, meaning Jaguar Game in Brazilian Portuguese, 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, especially 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, also known as jaguar and dogs: in adugo, the jaguar, called adugo in the Bororo language, is hunting the dogs, called arikau. Komikan may be the same game as adugo; komikan is the name given by the Mapuches in Chile. It is thought that the Spanish brought alquerque to the Americas, and this accounts for the use of the alquerque board in this game.
