Rules: Lahemay waladat is played on a board of two rows of of (sic) six holes. The game starts with four stones in each hole. The right to start the game is decided by a hand-play referred to in Tigrinya as shekut. To begin with, the two players are holding hands as in a handshake. After breaking the hold, they would either expose the first finger, last three fingers or the open hand with fingers side by side. A player who displayed his first finger defeats one with three fingers, three fingers defeats the hand, and the hand the first finger. Pankhurst, R. 1971.
