1. Felli is a simple game of strategy from Morocco. It is a two player game where players face each other across an hourglass-shaped board, each player having six pieces set out at the start of the game.

2. Felli originated from Alquerque - first documented in Spain, it spread around the world, and its board adopted different shapes as it did so. In Morocco and in India, hourglass-shaped boards were separately designed.

3. The Moroccan game - Felli is the simplest of all alquerque games, having only thirteen points onto which six pieces per player are set out. The Indian game is larger, with nine pieces per side.
