It is a hunting game similar to those in Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent. It is especially similar to komikan, rimau, rimau-rimau, main tapal empat, and bagha-chall as they all use an alquerque-based board. Adugo is specifically a tiger hunt game (or tiger game). Komikan may be the same game as adugo. Komikan is the name given by the Mapuches in Chile.

In adugo, the jaguar ("adugo", in Bororo's language) is hunting the dogs ("arikau").{{Cite journal |last1=Ferreira |first1=Maria Beatriz Rocha |last2=Vinha |first2=Marina |last3=Souza |first3=Aluisio Fernandes de |year=2008 |title=Jogos de tabuleiro: um percurso em etnias indígenas |trans-title=Board games in indigenous ethnic groups |url=https://portalrevistas.ucb.br/index.php/RBCM/article/view/1115/890 |url-status=live |format=PDF |journal=Revista Brasileira de Ciência e Movimento |language=pt-BR |volume=16 |issue=1 |page=51 |issn=0103-1716 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180516214628/https://portalrevistas.ucb.br/index.php/RBCM/article/view/1115/890 |archive-date=2018-05-16 |access-date=2024-09-12}}{{Cite journal |last=Caldas |first=José Augusto |title=Apontamentos para a organisação da grammatica Bororó |trans-title=Notes for the organization of Bororó grammar |url=https://etnolinguistica.wdfiles.com/local--files/biblio%3Acaldas-1903-apontamentos/caldas_1903_apontamentos_MN.pdf |url-status=live |journal=Archivos do Museu Nacional do Rio de Janeiro |language=pt-BR |volume=12 |pages=312–313 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180526112939/https://etnolinguistica.wdfiles.com/local--files/biblio%3Acaldas-1903-apontamentos/caldas_1903_apontamentos_MN.pdf |archive-date=2018-05-26 |access-date=2024-09-12}}{{Cite web |last=Melo |first=Carolina |date=2024-07-05 |title=Curta o câmpus promove vivência no Núcleo Takinahakỹ |trans-title=Enjoy the campus and experience at the Takinahakỹ Center |url=https://ufg.br/n/182363-curta-o-campus-promove-vivencia-no-nucleo-takinahak |access-date=2024-09-12 |website= |publisher=Federal University of Goiás |language=pt-BR |quote=‘[...] Há uma peça que representa do adugo (onça pintada) e 14 arikau (cachorros), que têm a finalidade de acuar e deixar o adugo sem saída, enquanto o adugo tem a finalidade de devorar arikau’, explica [Fleury]. |trans-quote=‘(...)

It is thought that the Spanish brought alquerque to the Americas, and this accounts for the use of the alquerque board in this game.
