Tchala numbers for an arrest
The traditional tchala links an arrest to 36, 13, 24 and 25. In Haitian borlette, these two-digit numbers can be played alone (bolet) or paired as a maryaj (marriage): 36×13, 36×24, 36×25, 13×24, 13×25, 24×25. The tchala is a cultural tradition: the numbers differ from one family or tchala book to another, and no dream can predict a draw.
