Igisoro

[1] It is a variant of the Omweso game of the Baganda people (Uganda), and it is played primarily in Burundi and Rwanda.

Igisoro, like Omweso and other mancalas from Eastern Africa such as Bao (game), is played with a 4×8 board of pits and 64 seeds.

Each player starts with 4 seeds in each pit in the back row of their territory.

The board below shows the state after the first player moved the seeds from the pit highlighted in yellow.

At the end of a turn, there are two ways in which the players turn may continue: Only for a direct pick or catch, a player starting from, or arriving at the pits highlighted in yellow below may choose to move counter-clockwise.
