Morabaraba
''Morabaraba'' is a traditional two-player strategy board game played in South Africa and Botswana with a slightly different variation played in Lesotho. The game is known by many names in many languages, including ''mlabalaba'', ''mmela'' (in Setswana), ''muravava'', and ''umlabalaba''. The game is similar to twelve men's morris, a variation on the Roman board game nine men's morris. While some believe that ''morabaraba'' was introduced to Southern Africa by British settlers, morris variants exist in many parts of the world, e.g., India (''char bhar''), Ghana (''achi''), Kenya (''shisimia''), Somalia ('' shax''), Zimbabwe (''tsoro yemutwelve''),Iran(''dooz''), the Philippines (''tapatan'') and Mongolia (''gurgaldaj''). It is claimed that ''morabaraba'' boards carved in rock are dated to be at least 800 years old, which would exclude a European origin. However, many rock art images do not actually show ''morabaraba'', but the ''mancala''-type game of ''moruba'' (using of cupules ...
