Without doubt the game is derived from Tschuba, a game played by the Thonga or Shangaans who live from St. Lucia Bay, South Africa, to the Sabie River in southern Mozambique. The rules are identical with those of a particular form of Tschuba described by Wagner in 1917, but its exact initial position seems to be unknown in Africa.
