An Invitation to Play with Heritage
Step into a world where playful nostalgia meets cultural delight through traditional board games. The Oota & Aata Edition 3 event from Urbanaut Experiences brought this exact joy to life. Hosted at Sabha, a heritage cultural space, this gathering was designed to reconnect participants with the simple pleasures of childhood evenings, complete with indian board games, comforting South Indian snacks, and convivial company.

A Journey Back Through Games and Community
Oota & Aata Edition 3 offered a carefully curated experience that celebrated traditional board games, inviting people to pause, gather, and play like we used to. Guests chose from beloved childhood favourites, Alaguli Mane (Pallanguzhi), Pagade, Aadu Huli (Tiger & Goat), all played across generational lines. These indian board games not only evoke memories but also offer cognitive benefits like sharper thinking and better memory, while promoting relaxation and connection.
Set in Sabha, a restored 160-year-old school building, the venue itself underscored the blend of heritage and creative expression. Participants enjoyed South Indian tea-time snacks such as vadais, Mangalore buns, and kuzhipaniyarams, accompanied by coffee, tea, and ambient background music to complete an immersive, sensory experience.
Why These Games Matter
Traditional board games offer a different kind of entertainment, one that encourages thoughtful interaction, tactile involvement, and storytelling. Playing indian board games like Pagade or Aadu Huli connects individuals to cultural roots, preserving their legacy in the most enjoyable way possible. They remind us of evenings spent learning through play, and they foster communal learning and memory across generations.
