YOTE'
An African Strategic Board Game
YOTE' - an African Board Game
Most everyone knows Mankala as a popular African board
game, but YOTE' is as popular in Africa as Mankala.
Two players start with a clear board. Take turns placing
one piece at a time, or moving a piece already on the board,
trying to get in position to jump your opponent's piece or
pieces. If you jump successfully, you are entitled to remove
a "bonus piece" from the board. This gives YOTE' its twist
over checkers!
So, you will want to hold some pieces in reserve for a sneak
attack! See who will be the YOTE' champion in your family!
VARIATIONS on YOTE'
YOTE' comes in three versions.
Deluxe YOTE' uses smooth river rocks as the playing pieces.
These are tactilely delightful, and add a primitive feel to this
ancient game. Approximately 15" x 24"
Regular YOTE' is the same size as the Deluxe but uses flat
marbles for playing pieces. Also 15" x 24
