Bul (game)

Bul, also called Buul, Boolik or Puluc, is a running-fight board game originating in Mesoamerica. It is known particularly among several of the Maya peoples of Belize and the Guatemalan highlands. It is uncertain whether the game dates back to the pre-Columbian Maya civilization or developed in the post-colonial era after the arrival of the Spanish conquistadores. The lead of its source article gives no further detail on rules or equipment, so this entry records only what the game is, where it is known and the open question about its age.
