Overview
Experience the traditional East African strategy game of Bao with the BaoTz app, inviting players into a challenging world of strategic moves and cultural history.

Key Features

2. Includes three types of Bao: the intricate Bao kubwa, the slightly simpler Bao dogo, and the straightforward Bao toto.
3. Allows learning and practicing advanced strategies with the most popular version, Bao kubwa.
4. Bao dogo offers an experience similar to Bao kubwa but without the complex "namua" phase.
5. Bao toto is ideal for beginners, with minimal restrictions and no special house rules.
6. Provides help within the app to aid players in understanding and mastering the game's rules.
7. Offers the excitement of gameplay enhancement through the use of a remote control on Android TV.

Interesting Gameplay
1. Players aim to win by clearing the front row of their opponent's seeds or by leaving them with no valid moves.
2. The game starts by selecting any hole with two or more seeds and sowing in an established direction.
3. Continue sowing by capturing seeds from the faced hole if it contains seeds and maintain the direction for further dispersal.
4. Landing in an empty hole ends a player's turn.
5. Victory in Bao toto is achieved when the opponent's front row lacks any hole with two or more seeds, making their position 'unhealthy'.
