Join us every Sunday in March for chongka’ games in celebration of Mes CHamoru. With origins in Africa, this shell-and-board game was first recorded in Guam in 1904 by a German commander, and believed to have been introduced to Guam as far back as the early 18th Century. Since then, chongka’ has become a part of Chamorro culture. All are welcome to learn how to play. Chongka’ boards will be available to the first 20 pairs, but players are invited to also bring their own boards to play or display, and share their stories and memories of the game.
