The traditional games of Goa were presented based on the research carried out by Dr. Carlos Vilar at the Menezes Bragança Library in Pangim, Goa, at the archives of the periodical "Heraldo", at the Internet and also the book "Goa, Daman and Diu" by Cândido de Azevedo. In all 11 games were presented, with their respective regulations. Given the limited space, in terms of interior as well as exterior, 9 games had been put out to the disposal of the participants, 3 being interior ones and 6 exterior. Besides these, the games of Rings or macaca and mitfolliô were presented only in regulation. Each regulation was presented in A3 sheets, placed in placards arrpund the venue of each game. The material for the games, such as bios, bourés and carrom, was brought from Goa and the remaining confectioned in Portugal For the interior games, the respective material was placed on top of the tables: 3 Carrom boards, 1 table of Ticktem with the respective designs in A4 paper and 1 table for Fatranim with the 5 stones. For the exterior games, the drawing of the ground was marked by use of ribbon-glue and spray of white ink: bioani, goindó-ball, aeroplano, lobiani, goddé and bouró; the rules of each game had been placed together to the respective fields. The venue of the games was much visited, not only by direct participants as also by many families remembering animatedly their times of infancy, while others attended the much appreciated projection of the DVD "Goa - a Paradise" presented on the big television screen set up at the conviviality hall. One of the active participants was Mr. René Barreto, founder of the World Goa Day, who came to Portugal to participate especially in the Commemorations; he was extremely enthusiastic with the presentation of the games and considered to the Commission the creation of a site of Traditional Games of Goa, with the aim to divulge for all the Goan communities in the world.
