Uthini is a modern African game (by dint of it being invented by South African Don Green), related to Backgammon. Players start with their tokens at either end of a board, which is a 13×3 grid. The aim is to be first to move their pieces from one end of the board to the other, while blocking the other player on the way. Players roll dice and can move their tokens on any of the three columns. They can also move left or right depending on the number on the die. Players lose a turn when they roll doubles.

"Uthini" is a Swahili word, meaning "pardon".
