5x5 Board 7x7 Board. Chowka Bara or Ashta Chamma is a two- or four-player board game from India.This game is an example of a “fully observable” system that has an element of chance introduced by the roll of special dice and an element of strategy (the strategy being the pawn the player decides to move after the roll of the dice).
These special markings coincide with squares unreachable by any of the four gajas that start on the board due to movement rules. Chess historian H. J. R. Murray conjectured that the ashtāpada was also used for some old race-type dice game, perhaps similar to chowka bhara, in which the marks had meaning.
Each player has four pieces to play and retrieve after reaching the center. The game is generally played with cowrie shells instead of dice. It is similar to Chowka bhara. In Korea, the board of the traditional game 용호쌍륙 (Korean: 용호쌍륙) is similar to Ashtapada. [1] [2]

Morabaraba is accessible and easy to learn, and games can be played quickly, but the strategic and tactical aspects of the game run deep. While it may be played on specially produced boards (or simulated by computer software as a video game), it is simple enough that a board can easily be scratched on a stone or into sand, with coins or pebbles (or whatever comes to hand) used as the pieces.
The game's name, which means "raw flower" serves a mnemonic for the sequence in Gujarati (kari, chukat, falli, lal). [1] The game continues for as many rounds as possible according to the number of players, i.e. for 6 players 8 rounds can be played before running out of cards. Each player is dealt the designated number of cards for the round.
