  • Latho → Italian. Latho, a game of memory, is played by the Dorzé people who live in south-central Ethiopia. Among the Dorzé board games are exclusively played by men, who make use of wooden boards as well as holes dug in the ground. The boards are owned by the community and kept in houses by the public meeting meadows. According to the American anthropologist Judy Olmstead "it is considered not in good form for young unmarried men to play ... although in fact they do ... Old men especially play - little boys may as a favour play with the board after the men, but usually use holes in the ground. Young men also play. Playing takes place during free time." Latho was first described by Richard Pankhurst as Game 65 in 1971. It is related to other mancala games such as Tagega III (same article, Game 54) of the Konso people, but is apparently rather different from the blindfolded guessing game of Aghadaghada described by Egharevba from Benin City, Nigeria.
