Thaayam Guide

Thaayam Guide is an interactive educational resource for learning Dayaakattai, a traditional Tamil board game played with sticks and pieces on a chalk grid. The site offers bilingual content in English and Tamil, covering board setup, stick-throw mechanics, rules for entry and capture, safe zones, and winning conditions. It includes a roll simulator to practice dice outcomes and strategy notes grounded in actual gameplay.

Designed for players of all levels, from those rediscovering childhood memories to newcomers curious about traditional games, the guide combines visual diagrams with clear explanations. The maker built it using Codex, an AI coding tool, to bring a long-shelved idea to life.
