More about Aadu Huli
Aadu Huli is a traditional outdoor game that is popular in rural areas of India. It is played by two players, with one player trying to knock down a wooden block or "aadu" with a small stone or "huli." The player that successfully knocks down the aadu earns points. This game requires good hand-eye coordination, aim, and strategic thinking, as players must carefully calculate the strength and angle of their throws to knock down the aadu.
Aadu Huli is a fun and exciting game that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, and it is often played during festivals and celebrations in rural communities. In addition to being a source of entertainment, scientific studies have shown that Aadu Huli helps develop visuospatial skills, logical relations, heuristic strategies, analogy, and modeling skills.
This game is also popular in south Indian temples and public places such as "panchayti katte." In the asymmetrical version of the game, one player controls three tigers while the other player controls up to 15 goats, with the goats trying to block the tigers' movements.
Roll the Dice has implemented the game in multiple levels accounting for increasing difficulty, time and strategic thinking. This set consists mats for playing Levels 3 & 4.
