  • Jan!

    A good question and it has two answers.

    1) The player can continue without picking if he/she do it with the purpose to gain more in following moves. There are conflictting views about this topic; can the opponent demand for a pick or not. My proposal is that you agree about this before you start the game.

    2) Sometimes you just forget to pick, like I did when we did this video.

    About the seeds.

    Traditionally the game has been played with beans and stones. These seeds are manufactured.

  • ...thanks!

  • Thank you! I bought this game as a gift for my son while in Rwanda but was unsure how to play it until I found your video, so

  • why don't you capture the opponent stones at 13:26?

  • What seeds are you using? This is a great teaching video.
