      B and R: Manalo, matalo, cute pa rin kami! (Win or lose, we're still cute!)
      Language: Tagalog

      Those stuff that you see are characters in the Baybayin writing system. The leftmost and rightmost characters are the syllables "ma" and "lo" from the words "manalo" (to win) and "matalo" (to lose). The 2nd "character" is actually the flipped characters for "na" and "ta".
      Flip 90 degrees clockwise, you'll get the syllable "ta". Flip again clockwise, you'll then obtain the syllable "na".

      Here is the Baybayin writing system.

      If you form "manalo", you're destined to win. If you form "matalo", you're destined to lose.

      P.S.:To remove the succeeding vowel, Spanish conquerors to the Philippines introduced the "cross symbol" (x or + placed below the character).

      Interesting story but not much gameplay.

      The Babylonian language is interesting, but I formed 'ta' in the middle and still won by blocking R's path with B a few times.

      @Ahmad Bhatti. Yo! This is actually the precolonial writing system in the Philippines. Its relative writing systems are Thai, India's writing systems, Indonesia's writing systems.

      I'll try to redo your move. Thanks for playing, rating, and commenting!
