Butterfly (game)

Butterfly (or Gulugufe in the Tonga language of Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique) is a two-player abstract strategy game.

It is a similar game to Lau kata kati from India which may suggest a historical connection between the two games.

Two lines cross the breadth of each triangle forming the second and third ranks, and another line that runs down the length of the triangle through the common vertex.

There are a total of 19 intersection points for the pieces to be played upon.

One player plays black, and the other player plays white; however, any two colors or distinguishable objects will suffice.
