Tchonka is played by the Chamorro, the native people of the Mariana Islands, once an independent kingdom in northwestern Oceania / Micronesia. Georg Fritz, the German commander-in-chief of Saipan wrote an extensive history and ethnography of the Chamorro which was published in 1904 by the Royal Museum of Ethnology in Berlin. He described tchonka which appears to be almost identical with sungka, the predominant mancala variant played in the Philippines.
