Multitchouka 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. In fact, multitchouka can be considered just a tchuka ruma generalization (n holes, k seeds originally distributed in any pattern).

Rules
The rules are the same as for monokalah, another tchoukaillon variant, except for the following:
- If the last counter falls in a non-empty hole, its contents are distributed in a new lap. Actually, multichouka is just monokalah played with multiple laps.

| Initial position suggested by V. Gautheron (roumba marked) |
As in tchoukaillon and monokalah the object of the game is to accumulate all stones in the store ("roumba"). The player loses if the last stone of a lap is placed into an empty hole.
