About the game
Tsoro yematatu is a two-player abstract strategy game from Zimbabwe. Players first drop their three pieces onto the board, and then move them to create a 3 in-a-row which wins the game. It is similar to games including Tapatan, Achi, Nine holes, Shisima, and Tant Fant. Uniquely pieces can jump over each other (without capture) which adds an extra dimension in the manoeuvrability of the pieces.
There is some uncertainty about the correct name as Tsoro yemamutatu is also used; 'ma' or 'mai' being the chikaranga for 'mother'...hence 'mamutatu' means 'mother mutatu'.More from Mitra
