Adugo Brazilian board game
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad
Jogo da Onça, also known as Adugo, is a traditional Brazilian board game now available online!
This strategic game features an asymmetrical hunt between a jaguar and a pack of dogs. Considered one of the oldest games in human history, it originates from the Bororo indigenous people in the Mato Grosso region of Brazil.
Passed down from generation to generation, it was even introduced to many Brazilian children at school. “Jogo da Onça” literally means “jaguar game” in Portuguese (onça refers to the jaguar), and the game is also known as Adugo.
This app offers a faithful adaptation of the original rules of this cultural treasure, appealing to nostalgic players as well as curious newcomers.
Original and engaging rules:
The principle of Jogo da Onça is easy to learn while offering deep strategic possibilities.
The traditional board represents a hunting ground: one player takes on the role of a solitary jaguar, while the other controls a pack of 14 dogs.
The jaguar moves first and can capture dogs by jumping over them, similar to checkers.
The dogs, on the other hand, cannot capture the jaguar but must cooperate to surround and block it.
Each side has a distinct objective: the jaguar wins by capturing at least six dogs, while the dogs win by completely immobilizing the jaguar. This asymmetry creates a unique challenge playing as the jaguar requires cunning and boldness, while playing as the dogs demands coordination and foresight.
