New York, NY 10011Learn how to play the game of goats and tigers (Bag’chal) on a life-size board. Make your own goat or tiger mask. Bag’chal, an ancient game from Nepal, will be played with children and adults in RMA’s Theater Gallery. Presented with the America-Nepal Friendship Society.
The ANFS is asking for support in this outreach program. We would like to have both young and old attend this event, but especially important for kids to come and participate. It will be a fun afternoon and everyone is encouraged to create their own tiger and/or goat mask.
ANFS is also seeking volunteers to help out with this event — just simple, fun work. Be there and help children and adults during the event. If you’re an expert in bag chaal, that’s great. If not, it’s a simple game anyone can learn within a few minutes.
If you’d like to learn more about bag chaal, read about bag chaal on Wikipedia. You can even play a free version of the game, Bagh Chal by Jesse Chilcott.
