Mak-yek is a board game played in Siam and Malaysia (under the name Apit-sodok). It is a game of custodial capture. An 'Edges' variant is available that uses the edges of the board in captures.

| nih | 2 | The two different capturing mechanisms lead to interesting tactical situations, unless the opponent is determined to stalemate. The 'edges' version is more bloody but seems a little contrived. How about an 'edges' version where the board wraps around, horizontally and vertically? |
| Aaron | 1 | National games are not always perfect, but I find they are often quite original. The Edges variant makes this game even more bloody. |
| Nandi | 1 | Much better with the "edges rule". |
| Cerulean | 0 | Meh. Probably innovative a century ago. Not bad, but low priority. |
| Laurie_Menke | 0 | I don't really enjoy this game much, but I agree that the Edges variant is an improvement. |
| unic | -1 | Seems likely to stalemate. |
| jonah | -2 | |
| nycavri | -2 | Another game I completly fail to grasp. |
| pinkpan | -2 | This is definitely not
my game. To much "blood" |
