Description: 

Enjoy a piece of Dhofari (South Oman) heritage with this ancient 4 player (ages 5+) strategy game. Passed on from generation to generation, once reserved for private family gatherings and long travels across the land by locals, is now available for all to enjoy for the first time.

Each box is locally handcrafted with solid wood, comes with a hand stitched velvet pouch containing the playing sticks and frankincense inspired pawns. Each pawn shape is inspired by Dhofari architectural motifs.

An instructional manual written based on how we used to play it as kids passed on by the matriarchs of our family.

The elements of this box comes carefully curated to allow the game to travel with you to all your fun gatherings with friends and family.

By purchasing this boardgame, you are helping us preserve a piece of our culture very close to our heart. Thank you

At Rahina, we aspire to encapsulate a story in every piece we produce, inspired by our ancestors and cultural heritage. They are not forgotten and our cultural history is worth preserving. We make each piece with love and support local artisans and businesses to bring things to life.
