This strategy game is based on a game from the Somali people of Africa. Why not find a partner to play with and give it a go

This is another great strategy game to play. See if you can work out how to win every time

Why not make a short video of you playing these games and send them to us, Can you explain how to win every time?
This week's challenge from Mrs Rimell and Mrs Briggs is to design and make a board game.
1. Take a look at board games you own already or those you know well. What things do they have in common? How are they different?
2. Think about what you noticed. What kind of board game would you like to invent? Lots of board games have a journey that players must go on. Some build in cards that ask questions; others have chance cards. Most board games offer each player a special piece to represent them on the board.
3. You might like to create a board game that takes place in an interesting world -- that might become your theme. You could choose Ancient Egypt and design a Pyramid for the middle of your board, and special game pieces that look like the gods of Ancient Egypt. Or you might make a game set in Cupcake Land and make a tiny bakery from recycled card.
4. Many games have timers, dice, or spinners that dictate game play. Think how you might like to make these pieces.
5. All games need rules. Make a list of rules you think you need and then try playing the game. Adjust the rules as you come across problems.
6. Once you have a few ideas, gather together the supplies you might need. You might like to sketch out some rough ideas on paper first -- that helps lots of people plan a project. Then it's time to start creating!
