| - Birrguu Matya is claimed to be a traditional Australian Aboriginal game taught to children from a young age to develop skill, patience and lateral thinking for the purposes of sharpening their hunting skills in later life, however it appears to be similar or identical to a game played in Asia called Tapatan. Birrguu Matya is marketed as belonging to the cultural history of the Wiradjuri People who are considered the first inhabitants of the Bathurst district and have been living there for at least 40,000 years. The name Birrguu Matya seems to be attributable to words from two discontiguous languages, Wiradjuri, spoken in southern New South Wales and Paakanytji, spoken in north-west New South Wales. It appears that the words birrguu (Wiradjuri, meaning bush) and matya (Paakanytji, meaning game or bold) were taken from Macquarie Aboriginal Words, published in 1994, only a few years prior to the game being released as a commercial product. The game can be said to be a simplified Chess and a slightly more strategic Tic-tac-toe or naughts and crosses. (en)
