Jarves speaks of Kouane, "an intricate game of drauglits played with 

 colored stones upon a flat stone ruled with a large number of scxuares."^ 



In Madagascar, Sibree- describes a game 

 resembling draughts as a very common 

 pastime. It is played with pebbles or 

 beans on a board or piece of smooth stone 

 or earth having thirty-two divisions or 

 holes, much in the same way as the game 

 of Fox and Geese.
