The Angkunh is a fruit that grows on trees in the provinces of Stung Treng and Kratie, CAMBODIA. It is round with two flat sides and a diameter of about six centimeres. When ripe, it has a hard skin and turns the colour of mahogany.

The Game of Angkunh, colour of mahogny. The game of angkunh requires several players with two mixed teams of young boys and girls.
Each participant takes a turn to throw the fruit, frizbee or free style,
into the opponent's area, a triangle made from three Angkunh stuck into the ground. A goal is scored when a player knocks over all the Angkunhs or when an Angkunh lands in the triangle. The victor wins the right to gently tap the loser's bent knee with the fruit, the sound of which is a source of much amusement.
