Tihbat is a mancala game played in the Taurirt area, Morocco. All the information comes from Lalo Kinast, who got it from Moroccan children living in Flix, Catalonia. It is a game played by children, both boys and girls.
Rules
Tihbat is played in a board made of two rows of two holes. At the beginning there are 7 pieces on each hole.
|
| Initial position |
Each player owns the two holes closer to him.
The game is played by taking turns.
On his turn, a player takes all the pieces of a hole on his side of the board, and distribute them anticlockwise, one per hole, on the following holes, starting from the very same hole he has taken them.
If the last piece falls into a hole on the player's side, and the contents of this hole become an even number of pieces, not greater than 8 (i.e. 2, 4, 6 or 8) these are captured by the player.
The winner is the player who captures more seeds.
