Dala is a two-player abstract strategy board game from Sudan, and played especially by the Baggara tribes.
Players first drop their pieces onto the board, and then move them (herding the cows) orthogonally in an attempt to form 3 in-a-rows which allows a player to capture any of their opponent's piece on the board.
Players decide who will play the black and white pieces, and who will start first.
The player who forms the 3 in-a-row is allowed to capture one of their opponent's piece from anywhere on the board.
Players alternate their turns moving one piece orthogonally onto a vacant adjacent square.
