High jump (game)
Board game
High jump is a two-player strategy board game from Somalia.[1][2] It is related to draughts and alquerque as pieces hop over one another for capture; however, pieces move and capture orthogonally and not diagonally. Moreover, the game is played on a 5×5 square board. A feature of high jump is that the central square offers a kind of sanctuary; a piece occupying the central square cannot be hopped over and captured.[3] The same board is used in the game Seega.[1]
