## History games
- [Guti (3, 5 & 12 Guti — Board Game)](https://en.thereversetimes.com/games/guti/): The board game drawn on the ground — now on your phone, against the computer or a friend. The game played in village yards and school verandas with a few stones or tamarind seeds. In 3 guti, get three in a row to win; in 5 and 12 guti, jump over your opponent’s pieces to capture them.
- [Pen Fight (Pen Fight)](https://en.thereversetimes.com/games/pen-fight/): The school-bench battle — flick your pen and knock the other one off the table. Two pens on a school bench and one flick of the finger. Knock your opponent’s pen off the table to score — but flick too hard and your own pen may fall too!
- [Where Did My Money Go? (Amar Taka Gelo Koi — Inflation Game)](https://en.thereversetimes.com/games/amar-taka-gelo-koi/): Same note, lighter shopping bag — learn how inflation works by playing. Start in 1995 with ৳1,000 and move forward five years at a time.
