Every ancient civilisation had its own game. In India, it was Chaturanga, the precursor to modern chess. In Mesopotamia, it was the Royal Game of Ur, one of the oldest known board games, dating back more than 4500 years. For the Chinese, it was Xiangqi (Chinese Chess) and Weiqi, better known as Go — a game created over 3000 years ago that remains one of the oldest continuously played board games in the world. DaBombaes, a Bandra-based community events platform known for its curated experiences, gaming nights, and social mixers, is hosting a beginner-friendly workshop dedicated to the ancient Chinese game of Go.
