Abbia (game)
Abbia is an African game of chance from Cameroon's Beti people. The game is played using nutshells, or the fruit of a very poisonous tree with wood carving carvings on them. 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.
