Sute DLP Game   

Period Modern

Region Eastern Africa

Category Board, Sow, Four rows

Description

Sute is a four-row mancala-style board game played by the Chikunda people of Malawi.

Rules

4x8=20 holes, with an even number per row. One counter in each hole, except the right-hand end row of the inner row. Sowing occurs in an anti-clockwise direction, only into an empty hole. When a counter lands in a hole in the inner row and the opponent's opposite inner row hole is empty, the contents of the opponent's opposite outer row hole are captured. The player who captures all of the opponent's pieces wins.

Sanderson 1913: 736.
