Awithlaknakwe

Each player has six warriors, and a seventh piece not yet in play called the priest of the bow.

The historical board was cut into stone slabs, and pieces were small discs of pottery with tops either plain or having a hole in their centers to differentiate ownership.

The winning condition for this ancient game is not completely defined (see #Incomplete rules).

Players sit at opposite sides of the board; North plays against South.

The rules described by F. H. Cushing and reported by Culin, and subsequently by Bell and Murray, lack specificity on some points:
