Rules
How each game is played on Kontest, with real boards to step through and a few to try.
- ChessThe full game, every rule, with clocks from bullet to a day a move.
- DraughtsInternational by default: 10×10, men capture backwards, kings fly, the biggest capture is compulsory. English (8×8) is a setting.
- AyoSow, count, capture. The Yoruba Ayo Olopon, to the Abapa rules.
- WhotThe Nigerian card game: match shape or number, pick two, hold on, general market.
- LudoTwo to four, two dice: a 6 brings a counter out, play each die on its own, land on theirs to send it back and yours straight home.
- Snakes & LaddersClimb ladders, slide down snakes, first to 100 exactly. Pure luck, for fun.
- Tic-tac-toeThree in a row wins. Quick, and good players always draw.
- Rock paper scissorsBoth play a card at once, a five-second countdown, then the reveal. Best of five.
