Watch “I have a Stone That Kills in my Game Room! This "Fighting Serpents" game is centuries old.,” a how-to-play guide on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by NewVenture Games on YouTube:

The story of this game is centuries old and an example of cultural exchange. When the Spanish conquistadores came to the new world, they brought their games with them. Although a direct connection is not clear, evidence infers that this series of games was highly influenced by Anquerques, popular in southeastern Europe at the time. This is a two-player jump-and-capture game with moves similar to Alquerques. It's called "Awithlaknannai" by the Zuni people of southwestern North America, and can be found in several sizes. NewVenture offers two of these in our catalog (see links below). Fast, fun, and playable by a wide range of ages and interests. https://newventuregames.com/game/serpent-game/ https://newventuregames.com/products/stone-that-kills/ And don't forget to visit us on Facebook or the Website! https://www.facebook.com/NewVentureGames/ https://www.newventuregames.com/ And be sure to play every day!

About Fighting Serpents, from BoardGameGeek:

Fighting Serpents is a rough translation of "Kolowis Awithlaknannai", a game of the Zuni Indians of New Mexico. The game is a modification of the game Alquerque which was brought to the New World by the Spaniards. Boards for the game were found cut into the flat stone roofs of the Zuni houses, which were used as terraces. The game is played on a special board of three parallel horizontal lines intersected by a number of left and right leaning diagonals across the width of the board. At each end a line curves around joining each corner point to a point at the end of the middle line. Each player uses 23 pebbles or pottery fragments as pieces. The object is to capture all of the opponent's pieces. Captures are made by jumping, and more than one piece can be captured at a time. Capturing is compulsory. This game is similar to Alquerque, and Awithlaknannai, though the latter uses fewer spaces on the board.
