MATERIALS
- An 8x8 grid board
- Dice or cowrie shells
- Colored tokens for each player
HOW TO PLAY
1
Each player places their set of tokens at their designated starting squares on the 8x8 board.
2
Roll dice or throw cowrie shells to determine how many squares to move a token along the marked path.
3
Landing exactly on an opponent's token sends that token back to the start.
4
Certain marked squares act as safe havens where tokens cannot be captured.
5
The first player to move all of their tokens completely around the board and off the far end wins.
