HOW TO PLAY
1

Scoop out two facing rows of shallow pits in the dirt and fill each pit with an equal number of counters.

2

Players sit across from each other, traditionally passing the time while herding or resting with livestock nearby.

3

On a turn, empty one pit on your own side and sow its counters one at a time into the following pits around the board.

4

Landing your last counter in an opponent's pit that reaches a capturing count lets you scoop up that pit's contents.

5

Players continue alternating turns, planning ahead to set up favorable captures on later moves.

6

The game ends when one side's pits are empty, and the player who has captured the most counters wins.
