Peralikatuma is a two-player abstract strategy board game from Sri Lanka. It is a game related to draughts ( checkers) Alquerque as players hop over one another's pieces when capturing them. But its actual closest relatives are Sixteen Soldiers and Kotu Ellima which are also games from the Indian Subcontinent. All three games use the same board which consist of an Alquerque board, and attached on each of its four sides is a triangular patterned board. The only difference between the three games is in the number of pieces. In Sixteen Soldiers, each player has 16 pieces hence the name of the game. In Peralikatuma, each player has 23 pieces. In Kotu Ellima, each player has 24 pieces.
The game is also related to Terhuchu from northeast India, and Permainan-Tabal from Indonesia.
The game is also spelled as Perali Kotuma.
