Lukho, also called Olukho, is a mancala game played by the Bukusu, one of the seventeen Kenyan sub-tribes of the Luhya nation. They live in fortified villages on the foothills of Mount Elgon and number about 900,000 people. Lukho was first described by Walter Driedger in 1971. The game board is usually made of wood, but sometimes dug into the ground or carved into solid rock. The counters are small stones. It differs from most mancala games in that the outcome of the game depends on the first three moves only. Since the result cannot be predicted it is actually a game of luck. Driedger remarked:

Lukho is only played by adult males. Boys are not permitted to play the game because it would distract them from their duties. Driedger remarked:
