Tushla Bazi, a game

Tushla bazi (glass marble game) is the most famous traditional game among Afghan children. These glass made marble balls are found everywhere in Afghanistan. Children’s pockets could be empty of anything but marble balls. In Tushla Bazi, the winner would go home with full pocket of marbles and losers would go empty and upset. Recently, children have been gambling over stationary like pens and pencils. It’s said that marbles have been played by children since ancient Egyptian times. If you see Afghan children, glass marbles could be a valuable gift for them.
