Description

This game was documented in the nineteenth century in Samoa, but it was already falling out of fashion. The board was made in mats, and the board was not of a predetermined size.

Rules

12x6 board, though other sizes are possible. Each player lines up their pieces in the first two rows of the long side. Pieces move one place only. Pieces do not jump when capturing.

These rules were taken from the Historical Information ruleset.
