Tri-Pin

Shisima is a two-player abstract strategy game from Kenya, related to tic-tac-toe and three men’s morris. The game is popular and significant because it is a traditional game played by the Tiriki tribe in Kenya and in parts of South India. The game has been played for centuries, and its origins can be traced back to the Roman Empire, where a game known as Rota was played on an octagonal board and likely used three counters per player.
