Songo
Songo is a traditional Cameroonian match played in the central and southern regions of the country.
The match is played by 2 players and requires flawless tactics and strategical thinking
It is played on a board of 2x7 holes; every hole contains 5 pawns. Each player controls the row on his side of the board.
The match is played clockwise, from right to left. On his turn a player distributes the contents of one of his holes, one by one, into the ensuing holes. When an opponent's hole contains 2,3 or 4 pawns, you get to "eat" his box.
The match ends when one of the players "ate" at least 40 pawns; when there are less than 10 pawns left to play or when the player who must play no longer has pawns on his side.
