"Leak Kanseng ( )"
A game played by a group of children sitting in a circle. Someone holding a "kanseng" (Cambodian

"Bay Khom( )"
A game played by two children in rural or urban areas during their leisure time. Ten holes are dug in the
shape of an oval into a board in the ground. The game is played with 42 small beads, stones or fruit
seeds. Before starting the game, five beads are put into each of the two holes located at the tip of the
board. Four beads are placed in each of the remaining eight holes. The first player takes all the beads
from any hole and drops them one by one in the other holes. He or she must repeat this process until
they have dropped the last bead into a hole that lies besides any empty one. Then they must take all the
beads in the hole that follows the empty one. At this point, the second player may have his turn. The
game ends when all the holes are empty. The player with the greatest number of beads wins the game. It
is possibly similar to congkak.
