Congklak, a traditional Indonesian game

Imagine reading about congklak in the morning and actually seeing
people play a couple of hours later at Jalan Malioboro. Well, I sat with
them for a good 15 minutes and never managed to grasp the game.

It gives a good overview and rules regarding the game which is way 
too complicated for me.
