Monokalah is a variant of tchoukaillon, which in turn is a variant of tchuka ruma. The game was invented by the French mathematician Véronique Gautheron in 1977.

Rules
The rules are the same as for tchoukaillon except for the following:
- The number of holes ("cases") is always finite.
- If a player still has counters in his hand, when he reaches the store ("roumba"), he continues to sow them starting in the left-most hole.
As in tchoukaillon a move is only legal, if the last counter is sown into the roumba. The object is to accumulate all counters in the store.
