Kapana Bona DLP Game   

Period Modern

Region Western Africa

Category Board, Sow, Two rows

Description

Kapana Bona is a two-row mancala-style board game played by the Gourounsi people in West Africa. Instead of being played on a board, the counters are placed in heaps on the ground.

Rules

2x3 board. Eight counters in each pile. A player takes the counters from any of the piles and sows them anti-clockwise, beginning with the pile from which the counters were taken. Any piles that now contain 2, 4, or 6 counters are captured. The player who captures the most counters wins.


Béart 1955: 511.
