It was first described by Kenneth Calvin Murray, an African art collector and the son of the well-known English game historian Harold James Ruthven Murray in 1951. Azigo boards are often carried by allegorical human figures, thus symbolizing the spiritual Igbo cosmos. It is a man's game usually played during the dry season.
