PALLANGO

Pallango is a redesign of the traditional South Indian board game Pallanguzhi, reimagined to make it visually appealing and cognitively enriching for today’s children. The goal was to retain the tactile and strategic value of the original game while making its benefits visible and relevant to modern families, schools, and learning communities.
