Fanorona
Once upon a time, the great king of Madasgascar sent his messenger to his sons and issued them a simple challenge: the first of the two sons to return to their ailing father and king would be named the new king. When the elder son received the message, he was immersed in the challenging game of Fanorona, allowing his younger brother to return home and claim the throne.
Fanorona is a wooden strategy board game of 22 balls on each side, one black and one white. The goal is to have the last ball on the board, a concept that is very easy to grasp but is difficult to master.
