Monokalah is a variant of Tchoukaillon, which in turn is a variant of Tchuka Ruma. The game was invented by the French mathematician Véronique Gautheron in 1977.
Rules
The rules are the same as for Tchoukaillon except for the following:
- The number of holes ("cases") is always finite.
- If a player still has counters in his hand, when he reaches the store ("roumba"), he continues to sow them starting in the left-most hole.
As in Tchoukaillon a move is only legal, if the last counter is sown into the roumba. The object is to accumulate all counters in the store.
Initial position discussed by V. Gautheron (Roumba marked)
