From the tube: "The Zulu War Game is similar to a european game called Nine-Men's Morris. It is thought that european missionaries introduced the game in Africa hundreds of years ago. Then the game evolved into a more complex and challenging game, called Mlaba-Laba, or the Zulu War Game." The object of the game is to move and arrange your "stones" on the board to capture your opponent's "stones", the winner is the player who has captured all of his opponent's stones.
