Dakon Print

This game of Congklak or Dakon teaches that if we have fortune, we can share it for our own needs one by one (no need to be excessive) which is represented when we put one seed into the hole on the right and so on. When the fortune is in excess, we can store it in the barn (big hole). Again, only one is enough. And if we still have more, we share it with relatives, neighbors, friends, and others (marked by putting one seed into each hole in the friend's Congklak board in front of us). But we are not allowed to put seeds in the barn belonging to our opponent. Why? Because it is the owner's obligation to support himself, which is symbolized as savings. And so on. The point is in life we ​​are taught not to overdo it and share with others. It also teaches us to be responsible for our own lives. In this arrogant game, strategy is needed, so that our seeds are not taken by the opponent. The lesson is, life is a competition, but that doesn't mean we have to be enemies. Because everyone also has interests and goals that are (perhaps) the same as ours, we must be smart and strategic. The winner is the one with the most seeds in the barn. The point is that those who become winners or those who are successful are those who do the most good deeds. Those who save a lot of goodness, those who save more, and those who know strategies to collect sustenance. This game is actually a small fragment of the elements that make up a person's culture and character. With this game we can take advantage that sometimes we ourselves do not realize. Congklak trains us to be skilled, careful, honest, sporty, and creates a sense of familiarity between others.
