The Awale Asterix game box contains a support, called a "mancala", in the shape of a sarcophagus reminiscent of the one where Amonbofis and his henchman locked the architect Numérobis in the Asterix and Cleopatra album, and containing 12 cells in which small mummies are sown as pawns. Originally from Africa, awale is a strategy game played by two people. The goal is to collect as many seeds as possible by taking as many as possible from your opponent. However, it is not a question of "starving" the opponent by depriving him of all his seeds but on the contrary to leave him enough resources to continue the game. A kind of fair game before the hour, in short!
Contents of the box : 1 Sarcophagus, 48 seeds (symbolized by mummies), 1 ruler.
