About the game
Aw-li On-nam Ot-tjin (or simply Otjin) is a traditional mancala game played by the Penihing people of Borneo. The first transcription of the rules of the game was completed by Norwegian ethnographist Carl Sofus Lumholtz. Despite its origin, Otjin is similar to African mancalas such as Ba-awa (Ghana) and quite different than most Asian mancalas.Information from Marquoir’s game database, which cross-checks several open sources.
