In the bustling echo of Tet, the game "Bau Cua Tet" opens a colorful picture, where luck and joy blend together. The space was filled with sparkling lights, red firecrackers hanging high, and the bustling laughter of everyone.
The Bau Cua chess board is meticulously designed, with images of 6 familiar mascots: Gourd, Crab, Shrimp, Fish, Chicken, Deer. Each mascot is vividly drawn, imbued with a Tet atmosphere with details such as yellow apricot branches, green banh chung, or lucky red envelopes.
Three dice, each side printed with a mascot, are placed in a white ceramic plate. Players, with lucky money bills in hand, nervously choose the mascot they believe will bring luck. When the sound of disc jockey rang out, the atmosphere became tense and nervous with the game of bau cua.
Bau Cua is not only an entertaining game, but also a unique traditional cultural feature of Vietnamese people during the Lunar New Year. It brings a joyful atmosphere, bringing people closer together, sharing memorable moments in the early days of spring.
