Takti is a mancala game played by the Iraqw, a Cushitic people of the Arusha and Manyara Regions of north-central Tanzania. In 2001, the Iraqw population was estimated to number about 462,000. It was first observed by Paul Berger in 1935 who learned the rules from Antonio Qamunga Manonga, a resident of Wa/ama. Takti is played with stones on small wooden boards or the holes are dug in the ground. Takti seems to be related to Boola and Endodoi.

  • Takti is a mancala game played by the Iraqw, a Cushitic people of the Arusha and Manyara Regions of north-central Tanzania. In 2001, the Iraqw population was estimated to number about 462,000. It was first observed by Paul Berger in 1935 who learned the rules from Antonio Qamunga Manonga, a resident of Wa/ama. Takti is played with stones on small wooden boards or the holes are dug in the ground. The game is played by young and old men up from age 15, that is, by men who are old enough to marry, but never by women. There are really skillful players, but a man who fails "will get no praise" according to Berger. Quite the contrary, the mockery associated with a severe loss evokes images of emasculation, castration and homosexuality. Takti seems to be related to Boola and Endodoi.
