Kunggit at Home, Chongka Abroad: Sungka in the Filipino Diaspora

This article records tradition as it has been passed down and reported. Its sources are not yet part of the atlas's verified catalogue.

Sungka is the Philippine member of the mancala family, known also by the alternate name kunggit. Boards traditionally carry two rows of pits per player plus larger stores at each end, and Sungka continues to be played by Filipino communities today, at home and among migrants in the Marianas, where it is known as chongka, and in Taiwan, through relatively recent Filipino migration.
