Adi Board
Adi, an ancient game for two persons,
is played on the African Gold Coast
today just as it has been for hundreds
of years. Indoors people play Adi on
game boards carved from wood, but when
outside, they dig holes in the ground
and use Adi seeds from the Aditi bushes
as counters.
Adi is one of an ancient family of games
played in Africa, Asia and the islands
of the Pacific. The histories and in-
structions for these games may be found
in the book "Count and Capture" which
we give with each Adi Board.
[image of people playing the game]

We suggest that you try Adi first because it is
easy to learn from written instructions and can
be played by children as young as 6 or 7.

or cherry lumber with a warm natural finish and
will last for generations. It measures 6 x 23 inches.

Gomoku
The Japanese game of Gomoku or Gomoku-Narabe is
centuries old. Similar games are O-Mok in Korea and
the very ancient "Go" in China which dates back to
2256 B.C.
Two persons may play Gomoku and the object is to
get five marbles in a row in any direction while pre-
venting your opponent from doing the same with his
marbles.
In Japan the game is played with black and white
stones which are placed at the intersection of verti-
cal and horizontal lines. However, we use marbles
instead of stones and have drilled holes where the
intersections of the lines would be. On this board,
the stones or marbles can't slide around, but will
remain where they are placed.
[images of game]
Board measures about one foot
square with 13 rows of 13 holes.
Marbles and instructions are
included.
