Yote is a traditional African capturing game in the Checkers family. It's played on a 5x6 board with 12 pieces per player and no standard setup, instead the players take turns placing their stones. Captures are made by jumping. In addition one can have the ability to jump multiple pieces. (A player that has just captured a opponents piece can capture another piece for each piece jumped.)
