Strategy Games; Period 5; Friday, 07.24.09
Fiona wasn't exactly pleased that Professor Reid had left her with class this week, but it wasn't anything she couldn't handle. She could even handle it with aplomb considering what she knew was coming up later in the day; despite her nervousness, she was very much looking forward to her afternoon. And the class should be good practice for that!
"Hello," she said, glancing around the room, "Professor Reid is in the midst of moving so he asked me to cover 'class' today. We're playing mancala," and she gestured to all of the little wooden boards left open for the students to use.
"The rules are on the handouts here," and she pointed to a stack at the front of the class, "and there's another one with a history of the game here, though for just a little tidbit, I'll share that the word 'mancala' comes from the Arabic word naqala, which is 'to move'. So. You'll see how that works as we play."
Cue fleeing from the front of the class.
[ocd up!]
