Egara Guti | Silk Embroidery

Egara Guti, meaning Eleven Pebbles, is a traditional Indian war strategy board game for 2 players, each commanding an army of 11 soldiers. Rooted in the rich gaming traditions of the subcontinent, it is a game of tactical movement and battlefield cunning — no dice, no wooden cowries, just pure strategic nerve.

Every move counts in Egara Guti. Soldiers advance along connected lines, and a single well-timed jump can cascade into a chain of captures — one soldier leaping over enemy after enemy in a single devastating turn. The tension builds from the very first placement, as both armies face each other across the board knowing that a single lapse in attention can unravel an entire position in moments.

This board is crafted in Silk Embroidery, with the game's intersecting grid and diagonal lines stitched in a bold zigzag embroidery stitch against a richly textured silk ground. The wide velvet border frames the playing field elegantly, while handcrafted wooden beads adorn each corner, lending the piece the warmth of something truly made by hand.

The player who captures all of the opponent's soldiers wins. Each set includes the game board, 22 counters (11 per player).

🤲 Because this is a 100% handmade product, every piece is one of a kind. The stitching, thread colour, and pawns may vary slightly from what you see in the images — and that's exactly what makes yours truly unique. No two boards are ever exactly alike; each carries the individual touch of the artisan who made it.
