Gebet’a was once a popular game in Ethiopia, among both adults and children,
largely because it does not require any complicated equipment. Until recently,
many children were seen outdoors in public areas playing this type of game,
although now it is unfortunately phasing out and being replaced with electronic
devices.
With a two-row board, the players control their sides of the board, with moves
made into the opponent’s side. With a four-row board, the players control an inner
row and an outer row, and a player’s seeds will remain in these closest two rows
unless the opponent captures them.
Although there might be some variance, the main objective is usually to capture
more seeds than the opponent. At times, one seeks to leave the opponent with no
legal move left or to have their side empty first in order to win.
In a process known as sowing, all the seeds from a hole are dropped one at a time
into successive holes, in a motion covering the board. Sowing is a suitable name
for this move, since not only are many games traditionally played with seeds, but
placing seeds one at a time in different holes reflects the physical act of sowing,
showing its link to its agricultural past.
At the beginning of a player’s turn, they choose a hole with seeds that will be sown
around the board. This selection is often limited to holes on the current player’s
side of the board, as well as holes with a certain minimum number of seeds.
