 So, guess who invented this game? My name is India and today we're going to see which famous Israeli games you have in your closet. Board games in Israel go back thousands of years. These ancient board games and pieces were discovered in locations all across Israel. And today, Israelis are still playing around. They love fun and strategy. Games like Guess Who, RumiCube, and Mastermind all come from Israel. Guess Who is probably the most recognizable of these games. It was created by an Israeli couple back in the 70s. After the game was picked up by the gaming and toy company Hasbro, it's exploded in popularity. But funny enough, it's more popular abroad than in Israel. Instead, Israelis love Taki, which is kind of like their own version of Uno. You win Taki the same way you win Uno by getting rid of all your cards. That's why I call Taki Uno's Israeli brother. Another classic here, although it was not invented in Israel, is Backgammon. Or in Israel, they call it Sheshbash. I'm a little embarrassed to say this, but this is my first time playing Sheshbash. You will find that most Israeli homes have this game lying around somewhere. And they are usually ready to challenge you to a duel. But there is one amazing thing about this game. Backgammon unites Israelis and Palestinians. Every year, both Israelis and Palestinians come together for friendly Backgammon tournaments in Jerusalem. And since Israel is known as the start-up nation of the world, the funniest Israeli game to me is Alto Palta. It's like Monopoly, but you make your own start-up. And instead of using dollars or shackles, you use Bitcoin. It's also commonly known around here that Israelis love to play the lottery. Maybe because almost all other forms of gambling are banned in the country. The Israeli spirit of innovation is already at work to create new board games. Recently, Tel Aviv hosted a board game jam, which is like a hackathon. But instead, participants invent new games. So who knows? Maybe soon you will see a new game in your local toy store that was created in Israel. This is how we play. This is Inside Israel. Thanks for watching, and I'll see you next time.
