MATERIALS
- A cross-shaped Chowka Bara board drawn or printed on cloth
- 4 cowrie shells per player to use as dice
- 4 tokens per player
HOW TO PLAY
1
Each player throws the cowrie shells, and the number that land mouth-up decides how many spaces to move a token.
2
Players race their tokens along the marked path from a starting square around the board and back home.
3
Landing exactly on an opponent's token sends that token back to its starting point.
4
Certain marked squares act as safe zones where tokens cannot be sent back.
5
The first player to move all of their tokens completely around the board and home wins.
