One popular Ethiopian cultural game is called "Gebeta" or "Mancala." It is a traditional board game played by two players using a wooden board with rows of holes and small stones or seeds as playing pieces.
The objective of the game is to capture as many of your opponent's pieces as possible. Players take turns picking up all the pieces from one of the holes on their side of the board and distributing them one by one in a counter-clockwise direction into the other holes. If the last piece lands in an empty hole on your side, you can capture that piece and any pieces in the hole directly opposite on your opponent's side.
The game requires strategic thinking and planning to outmaneuver your opponent and capture their pieces. It is a fun and engaging game that is often played in Ethiopian households and social gatherings.
Gebeta/Mancala is not only a game but also a cultural tradition that has been passed down through generations in Ethiopia. It is a way for people to connect, socialize, and have fun while also preserving their cultural heritage.

Gebeta
Gebeta is a traditional Ethiopian board game that has been played for centuries. It is similar to checkers, but with a few unique rules. The game is played on an 8x8 board with 16 pieces per player. The pieces are called "gebets" and are usually made of wood or bone.
To start the game, each player places their gebets on the dark squares of the board. The first player then moves one of their gebets forward one square. The second player then does the same. The players continue to take turns moving their gebets forward one square at a time.
Gebets can only move forward, and they cannot jump over other gebets. If a gebet reaches the opposite end of the board, it becomes a "king." Kings can move forward or backward, and they can jump over other gebets.
The goal of the game is to capture all of your opponent's gebets. You can capture a gebet by moving one of your gebets onto the same square as the opponent's gebet. If you capture a gebet, you remove it from the board.
The game ends when one player captures all of their opponent's gebets.
