About the game

Kiothi is a traditional mancala game played by the Meru people in Kenya. The word "kiothi" simply means "to place" (i.e., placing the seeds in the pits). This mancala is closely related to the Enkeshui and the Giuthi mancalas, respectively played by the Maasai, the Kikuyu and Embu people.
