Adugo

Adugo is a type of game that is played in Nigeria and it is similar to the game of chess that you may have heard of. Adugo is played on a board that has 24 squares on it. Each player has 12 game pieces that are shaped like animals. The game pieces are usually made out of wood or stone and are different colors such as white or black.

To start the game, each player places their game pieces on the board in a specific pattern. The game pieces are placed on spots called holes. The holes are in the shape of diamonds on the board. Once the game pieces are placed, the players take turns moving their pieces.

The goal of the game is to capture all of your opponent's game pieces by jumping over them with your own pieces. Just like in the game of chess, each game piece has its own specific way of moving. For example, the game piece that looks like a lion can move diagonally, while the game piece that looks like a dog can move straight ahead.

In adugo, the game pieces can also change into a more powerful game piece once they reach the other side of the board. This adds an extra layer of strategy to the game.

The game of adugo is a fun way to exercise your mind and practice your problem-solving skills. Plus, it's a great way to bond with friends and family while having fun!
