QOTD - 8 Sep 2010 - Hari

The origins of X are uncertain, although western sources suggest that the game is of Sub-continental origin. The official body for X was formed in 1988 and the rules of X were also codified for the first time the same year.


Games similar to X appear all over Asia, e.g., Vindi vindi in Fiji and Szhe szhe in Israel. Other notable variants of X include Novuss, played in the Baltic states, Puckpool in Australia, Tōkyūban in Japan, and Crokinole and Pitchnut  in North America.

Identify X.
