Thoodhu the Boardgame - Learning Tamil through Play

Make learning Tamil fun through play!

A challenge that tests the hidden meaning of words, the depth of thought, and the fineness of strategy. Thoodhu (தூது) is a fast, clever Tamil word-clue game inspired by the era of Rajaraja Cholan.

How to play

• Two teams compete as Pigeons (Pura – புறா) and Falcons (Parunthu – பருந்து).
• Each round, the Pigeon team draws a secret word, writes strategic one-word Tamil clues, and tries to help their Commander guess it.
• But the Falcon team is watching! If the Falcons write the same clue as any Pigeon, that clue gets cancelled. The Commander must guess the secret word using only the remaining clues.
• Teams alternate roles each round.
• The team that scores 15 or more points after an equal number of Pigeon rounds wins the prestigious “Gnana Modhiram” (Ring of Wisdom).
