Guti

3, 5 & 12 Guti — Board Game

The board game drawn on the ground — now on your phone, against the computer or a friend

The game played in village yards and school verandas with a few stones or tamarind seeds. In 3 guti, get three in a row to win; in 5 and 12 guti, jump over your opponent’s pieces to capture them.

How to play

  1. Choose how many pieces and who to play against.
  2. Tap one of your pieces, then a point marked in green.
  3. 3 guti: get three in a row (not on your own starting row).
  4. 5 and 12 guti: jump over an opponent’s piece to the empty point beyond to capture it — several in one move if you can.
  5. Whoever loses all pieces, or cannot move, loses.

Printed edition — for playing at the table

Nothing to buy: draw the board on paper or the ground, take buttons, stones or seeds in two colours and play.
