I know tbis game!!! I played it so much (and well😉) while growing up but its being a while si ce i last played it, its called "Darâ" in Hausa" (one of the Nigerian languages). We do have them in such structures now, but back then, we dig little halls on the ground and play it in them. The stones are usually distributed four per each hole and its six holes per player.... That's how we get ourselves dirty then 😀😀😀😂, the game does help sharpen one's mind and I can remember playing it literally all day with friends.
There is one came too that has to do with the stones and hole, but that one is a bit different. It uses just one hole with the stones in it, then you will hold anther stone in your and, throw it up and before it falls back, you bring out those stones in the hole with your hand, then catch the stone you threw up. You will do same to push the stones back into the hole (but you will be picking stones with each round according to your level, when the stones in the hole finishes, you go to the next level. The more the level, the more the number of stones you take.
I dunno if you get my explanation or i confused you . Lol🙃 thag one is called charapke....dunno if i got the name right...😀
Afi kitty!!!!! 🐱🐱🐱🐱
Meow meow meow!
Yayyyyyyyyyyy! Its really amazing to note that this game has many versions and names all over the world!!! It never occurred to me that we have similar games.
And to know that you dig holes before such structures were made was brilliant!! Hahahahaha yeah it does sharpen our minds cuz we seem to find ways and strategies on how to get all the stones!
Hmmmmmm... i kinda played something like that too but we called it jackstones! Hahahahaha are you familiar with it too.. we seem to do so many tricks with it.. hahahahahaha oh my god we ate digging out childhood memories! Hahahaha back to memory lane im loving it!
Naaaah i aint confused at all.. i could just imagine! Haha

Hahaha! Now I wonder how all these games came to be, they seem to be all over. Maybe it's not native to anywhere and everyone just simultaneously came up with the idea? Or maybe not... Lol
Yes yes! You gotta be sharp, if not one would keep losing...😀 and no one wants that!!!!
I checked jackstones up and we did play that type of the game too. There are a whole lot of games that we did play with stones back then... Yeah, playing that has many tricks and styles one has to master... I never went far with it.
Really fun and beautiful memories...we could recreate them someday, just like you seem to do with adorable Mali...
😀
Hahahahahaha yess! I guess this game has gone from one country to the other. And each have their own revisions of the game. Funny how we have different names for one similar game. I find it very interesting at all. Who wpuld have known this too had gone internationally.. sooooo awesome!
True! We need to stay sharp to win hahahahahaha.. no one wants to keep losing.. 🤣😂
See! Jackstones are all over tbe world too. Yeah it has a lot of tricks and I hace quite mastered a few!! Oh i could just remember childhood and the contests we have had in presenting different tricks hahahahahahaha..
Im loving all this walk to memory lane. It was such much nicer to play with toys instead of being stuck up in gadgets!

Playing with toys is far far better! Hahahahah! I think it somewhat promotes togetherness and helps us learn more and sharpen our brains...
Yeah... Funny how the same game has different names. But I do love that it does though, it quite interesting... Now, I wonder how many other games we have in common...😀
So sweet to go down memory lane. So many pleasant memories....😀
It is sooooooooo much better! And it will help build your character even more..
I pity some of the generations of today who are sucked in the technology. They are soooo addictive to it that they forget how to do human connection anymore. Somehow, I am teaching my kids to play with the world and not with gadgets.
Hahahahaha i am loving it too that we play same games! I wonder now where did it all started. Who taught and played it first..hmmmmm interesting thought eh.

You really are doing a great job with that. I have to learn from you,😆😆😀
Gadgets are cool but too much of it are just too limiting... There is a whole world out there to explore!
Yeah... That's quite an interesting thought but that probably is the part of the puzzle that we may never find out.... Let's just enjoy the game!!!!!!😀
