Description Children play assyk aty at aul (nomad settlement). Kazakh traditional Assyk games are an ancient tradition in Kazakhstan. Each player has their own set of ‘Assyks’, traditionally made out of the talus bone of a sheep, and a ‘Saka’ dyed in bright colours. Players use their Assyk to knock out other Assyks from the field, and the focus is on the position of the bone. Kazakh traditional Assyk games are an ancient tradition in Kazakhstan.
