Description

Follow a magical gold weight from Ghana as you enjoy twists on the beloved game Tic-Tac-Toe. The game pieces are designed after actual gold weights found in the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art.

In the story, a gold weight has the power to transform games and turns Tic-Tac-Toe into into Achi. As the journey unfolds, a mathematical twist all its own appears. After enjoying the Achi story, play a 2nd game included called Tsoro Yematatu from Zimbabwe which itself acts as a twist on Achi.

Important This game replaces traditional game rules with a storybook that connects with the world around us. All storybooks are shared digitally and not included in the physical print as a way to save costs.
