Description
English: Langari is an ancient traditional game of District Swabi, People from Utman (Yousafzai tribe) used to play this game mostly at night, during winter, when men used to gather in Hujras. The game is inherited from ancestors, in 1980s it was a common game in all the hujras of district Swabi.

The game can be played in two different ways, one as a card board game, where the players have to reach the goal, the player who used to reach the goal first was considered to be the winner, however one have to go back to square one "Start" when an opponent passes by you. Another way of playing Langari was to set a Goal point’s target, the player who achieved the target points was considered to be the winner.

The game was usually played for recreational purposes in hujras, it is said that out of four players / groups the loosing player / group would use to prepare sweet dishes like "Halwa" for the winner or winning group at the end of the game. People from different villages of the district told different stories, but most of them remembered it till the end of 80s, however the game transformed in an existing game played as Ludo in 1990s.
