Culture and history

Historically, Mongolian game culture was ingrained in nomadic everyday life: family competitions with shagai bones, board and card fun, and the spirit of Naadam (wrestling, horse racing, archery) formed a competitive code without commercial excitement.

In the socialist era, money games were tightly restrained; after the 1990s, there were limited attempts to commercialize leisure activities in cities.

The public consensus remained cautious: sport, tradition and family forms of entertainment were valued.

The modern stage ended with a complete ban on gambling (offline and online), which consolidated the cultural vector on non-commercial, community leisure formats and distanced mass culture from money excitement.
