Product description
The LUDOS Collection was born to preserve games of the past, for the generations of the future. The second volume, LUDOS Africa features four, 2-player ancient strategy games from Mali (Yoté), Ghana (Oware), Nigeria (Dara) and Madagascar (Fanorona). 2900+ backers supported this project on Kickstarter.
Yoté is a jump and capture game that emerged from the bustling marketplaces of West Africa, from the nomadic Fulani people over 200 years ago. Control a caravan of 12 camels, and capture all of your opponent's pieces to win.
Oware is a member of the mancala family of games. While its exact origin is debated, one popular belief is that it emerged from the Ashanti people of Ghana. Sow seeds tactically and harvest 25 pieces from your opponent's plots to win.
Dara is a traditional positional game from West Africa that was passed down through oral tradition and played by the Dakarkari people of Nigeria. Control 12 animal spirits, form lines of 3 and capture 10 of your opponent's pieces to win.
Fanorona, the national game of Madagascar, dates back to the 17th century. In traditional Malagasy culture, this war game held ritualistic and even divinatory significance. Control a troop of 22 lemurs and drive off your opponent's pieces to win.
