Lau kata kati

Lau kata kati is a two-player abstract strategy game from India, specifically from Lower Bengal, and also from United Provinces, Karwi Subdivision where it is called Kowwu Dunki, and it was described by H.J.R.

The board is a pattern of two triangles joined together at a common vertex with further lines subdividing them.

[2] All Indian War-games have one important thing in common, and that is that all the pieces are laid out on the patterned board, with only one vacant point in the center.

[2] This forces the first move to be played on the central point, and captured by the other player's piece.

A single line perpendicular to the base of each triangle runs through the common vertex.
