Szkwa
Sz'kwa
Chinese abstract strategy game
Sz'kwa is a two-player abstract strategy game from China. It is a go, weiqi, or baduk variant. The sz'kwa board is not an n x n square board like go or weiqi. Instead, the board is circular in design. The same board is used by watermelon chess and one of the ancient Roman bear games.

It is a children's game played in China.[1][2] The game's name means "the game of four directions".[1][3] Players typically use gravel or dirt as the board and represent the pieces using shells, nuts, or pebbles.[1] The author Clifford A. Pickover rated a "Hyperdimensional Sz'kwa" challenge as "extremely difficult".[4]
