Abstract

Congkak board game has been a traditional board game played among Malaysian. Unfortunately, like any other traditional games, there is a great decline of interest among younger Malaysia generation due to popularity of multimedia-based games. The objective of this project is to improvise the traditional board game by developing an electronic based board game that gives the interactive element that most multimedia-based games, yet keep the traditional kinesthetic and human to human element. The project uses Arduino Mega as controller, seven segment displays to indicates number of marbles in each hole, and push button for the user to select which hole to select. A survey consists of six questions was done among the young Malaysians to verify whether the electronic board game is better than the traditional board game. The result indicates that the electronic board game proved to be popular among the young generation.
