Lamlameta

Lamlameta is a two-row mancala-style board game played by the Konso people of Ethiopia. Its board is larger than most boards used for mancala games elsewhere in Ethiopia, with two rows of twelve holes and two counters placed in each hole to begin. The first player opens by emptying one of the two rightmost holes and sowing counters around the board in an anti-clockwise pattern, which leaves holes holding three, three, none, three and three. After that, play proceeds by sowing from any hole in the mover's own row except one holding exactly two counters, and the sowing skips any hole that holds two. When the last counter drops into an empty hole on the mover's side, the counters in that hole and in any other holes on the opponent's side that hold exactly two are captured. A round ends when one player has no counters in their row, and a new round begins in which each player tries to refill holes to two counters, losing the holes they cannot fill.
