Description

Fanorona is one of several games including Draughts and the native American ‘Fighting Serpents’ that appear to be derived from the old medieval game of Alquerque as outlined by Alfonso X in his 13th century book of Games.



Fanorona is a Madagascan game that appeared around 1680 and which has adopted an unusual and interesting form of capture.



Our board is a hand-made cloth Fanorona game with hand-made wooden pieces. These boards enable you to enjoy a small piece of African history while playing a great game.



Suitable for museums, families – great for all, the board, pieces and rules come in a convenient cardboard presentation box so take up very little space when not in use.
