	Re: MR: Fanorona
		Certain rules recall those of checkers and some authors have concluded from this that fanorona was introduced into Madagascar by the Arabs, together with the calendar, magic, divination, writing and various customs.
		However, although the names of the days, the months, sikidy (divination) and astrology are certainly of Arabic origin, all the terms used in fanorona are Malagasy.
		The Baron of the Debatable Lands told me that he saw the game being played in Somalia when he was stationed there during World War II, and Demetria told me that she had the impression that it's been played in Italy, but this might be post-Period diffusions.

		As was the case with Tablut in the previous game, Fanorona is not only the narrative goal of the episode, but a mini-game that must be beaten, as well.
		However, while this is purely subjective on my part, I feel very little fondness for Fanorona, as the computer accomplishes too much, too quickly, leaving you no time to properly follow its moves, let alone prepare.
		On the plus side, there are difficulty settings specifically for the game, should anyone having significant problems overcoming it.

		I had heard of neither of the two games, being Tablut and Fanorona, and they are far more complex than their seemingly simple design.
		Being different they were inherently interesting, but I confess that if I want to play a board game (even one I haven't heard of) I will go and play the game itself.
		Despite that, I did find Fanorona an intriguing little game and quite a challenge.
