Adi Board

Adi, an ancient game for two persons,

is played on the African Gold Coast

today just as it has been for hundreds

of years. Indoors people play Adi on

game boards carved from wood, but when

outside, they dig holes in the ground

and use Adi seeds from the Aditi bushes

as counters.

Adi is one of an ancient family of games

played in Africa, Asia and the islands

of the Pacific. The histories and in-

structions for these games may be found

in the book "Count and Capture" which

we give with each Adi Board.

easy to learn from written instructions and can

be played by children as young as 6 or 7.

or cherry lumber with a warm natural finish and

will last for generations. It measures 6 x 23 inches.

Gomoku

The Japanese game of Gomoku or Gomoku-Narabe is

centuries old. Similar games are O-Mok in Korea and

the very ancient "Go" in China which dates back to

2256 B.C.

Two persons may play Gomoku and the object is to

get five marbles in a row in any direction while pre-

venting your opponent from doing the same with his

marbles.

In Japan the game is played with black and white

stones which are placed at the intersection of verti-

cal and horizontal lines. However, we use marbles

instead of stones and have drilled holes where the

intersections of the lines would be. On this board,

the stones or marbles can't slide around, but will

remain where they are placed.

[images of game]

Board measures about one foot

square with 13 rows of 13 holes.

Marbles and instructions are

included.
