In the same year the ICF officially codified the rules. The game has been very popular throughout South Asia, mainly in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Nepal. The most expensive boards are made to a high standard with high quality wood and decorations though cheaper boards are available.
