Notes
This work references Morabaraba (also known by many other names), a traditional southern African strategy board game played by two players. Each player has 12 pieces, or 'cows' (actually pebbles, coins or buttons, for example). One player has light-coloured cows and the other dark to differentiate the two 'herds'.
