RE: The Old Dog Presents: The That Wood Has Character Contest!

in #contest5 years ago

Thanks for this great opportunity.

I'd love to post a wooden game called "Ayò ọlọ́pọ́n" in Yoruba Language. An ethic in Nigeria, Africa.

This game was made for me by my grandfather, he's a carpenter and he got the small balls in the wooden board from his farm....

Here is the image below:

Thanks once again for the opportunity given me to share part of our cultural engagement with the galleries.

Very cool! Would you believe that I had one of these games in Canada when i was a kid? It was about 1967 and my brother brought it back from Antigua which is in the Caribbean.

Waooo... For real?🤗🤗

It's quite an interesting game, which I love to play all day with my grandparents and siblings 😁

we have one, too. and some great pebbles go with it - one of the fave games of my growing baby when she was 5-6 yo.

Waooo... This is really lovely... I actually thought this game can only be found in Africa. Don't even knows it goes viral.
