Abbia (game)

Abbia is an African game of chance among Cameroon's Beti people. The game is played using nutshells, or the carved fruit of a highly poisonous tree. Gambling chips made from stone are exchanged during the process. The game was played by men who sat in a circle around a plate-shaped woven basket and placed their carved stones in the basket. This involves undecorated discs, sa, cut from the peel of the calabash, the outer shell.
