Ashta Chamma: Online Ashta Chamma with Friends

Four cowrie shells, a chalked board, and a long walk to the middle. Land on someone and they start again.

2 to 4 players. About 30 minutes. Strategy.

How to play

1. Throw four cowries: mouths up is the count, all four face down is eight. A four brings one piece onto your gate, an eight brings two, and both throw again.
2. Walk the outer ring, come back to your gate, and turn inward. The middle needs an exact count. A third four or eight in a row loses the turn.
3. A crossed square is safe. Anywhere else, land on a piece and it starts again. First to get every piece home wins.
