The Encyclopedia of Tamil Lit (Vol 1) published by the Institute of
Asian Studies has a long monograph on the subject. It deals with the
subject historically and quotes from old works like the
cilappatikAram and then goes on to periyAzvAr's pAcurams which have
songs presumably meant to accompany some of these games like
untippara etc etc

Hope this helps,
