Persian Games Bází ha

There are so many games that I remember my Persian Mum and Persian dad teaching me as I grew up. These games are embedded in my memory and have shaped and formed my Iranian/Persian Identity in my early years. They built unbreakable bonds with me and my siblings and grandparents and are part of my core memories growing up. Persian games is not just a book but a collection of memories that has lead to my strong connection with my Iranian heritage despite never having lived in Iran. It also helped shape my language and strengthened my Persian vocabulary.I'll never forget playing hokm with my brothers, mum, dad and grandpa. The cheating and the banter that ensues are part of my most cherished memories.I hope they can also be part of yours too.
