Dogon → German, Portuguese. Dogon was invented by Ralf Gering in Hain (Germany) on March 6, 2010. It is a variant of Oware, which reminds of Alemungula. There are two minor variations: Dogon "kulei" and Dogon "gagara". Kulei is Dogon for "six" and gagara is Dogon for "eight", Dogon "kulei" is played on a 2x6 board, while Dogon "gagara" needs a 2x8 board. The game is named after the Dogon people in Mali because of their fantastic architecture – villages built into the cliff like some “pueblos” in America’s Southwest.
