Patolli, similar to modern day
backgammon or Parcheesi, was played on a marked board or bark with
beans for counters. Patolli is a Nahuatl word; the Spanish translation
is patole. The board for the game is set up in an "X," and the first
person to travel around the board and safely return home would be the
winner.
Totoloque was a gambling game using pellets made of gold. Players tossed the gold pellets some distance towards gold slabs. In five strokes or tries, they gained or lost pieces of gold or jewels that they bet.
