Id DLP.Evidence.1521
Type Ethnography
Location Bambara
Date 1955-01-01 - 1955-12-31
Rules 6x6 grid. Twelve pieces per player. In the first phase, playrs alternate turns placing their pieces on an empty space on the board. They are forbidden from placing two of their own pieces orthogonally adjacent to one another. Once all of the pieces are placed, players alternate turns moving the pieces to an empty adjacent spot. When they place a piece so that two are in a row, they capture one of the opponent's pieces. The player who captures all of the opponent's pieces wins.
Content "Le bolotoudou-bolotudu-, de bolo=main, et tudu = planter, bambara. C'est un wali, mais qui se joue avec 36 cases, 12 cailloux.... Les pions sont placés l'un après l'autre, sans que jamais deux pions soient placés ciot à côte, l'on frappe et l'on mange quand deux pions sont alignés orthogonalement (fig. 324,). Les figures de jeu sont beaucoup moins riches que celles du wali classique." Beeart 1955: 460.
