Assyk game Inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List in 2017.

Asyk is one of the national games of the Kazakh people. National games are often formed depending on the socio-economic conditions of each nation. Most of the national games of the Kazakh people are based on playing with natural objects. Since the economy is based on animal husbandry, the national games of the Kazakh people are adapted to this. Especially since they raised a lot of sheep, most of the children's games are related to the bones of sheep. That is why Asik games are one of the oldest national games. The game of Asik strengthens the child's nervous system from an early age and educates them in accuracy, restraint, and sobriety. Without such a quality, a person does not have endurance and patience. Without such qualities, a person will not achieve his goals in the game or in life. There were different types of this game.

According to the Kazakh beliefs, Asyk is one of the precious bones of the Kazakh people. It was a favorite game of children. Asyk types:

Kulzha, saka, zhabait, shukimait.

In 2017, by the decision of UNESCO, the “Kazakh traditional game of assyk” was inscribed on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity (Jeju, South Korea, 4–9 December 2017).
