Togyzkumalak gains popularity in Africa

Togyzkumalak (nine pellets) is gaining popularity. Soon, the Federation of the traditional Kazakh intellectual game may appear on the African continent. Demonstration games of togyzkumalak were held in the Nigerian state of Lagos, where the steppe chess immediately captivated local residents. The Kazakh game shares similarities with Ayo Olopon, a traditional African board game popular in southwestern Nigeria. In both games, participants move stones or seeds from one hole to another, and the goal is to collect as many as possible to win.
