Popis:	For the past several years at Beloit College, we have taught a course in Ethnomathematics, using Marcia Ascher's [2] as the primary text. The course has been extremely popular with students, who enjoy the exposure to mathematical ideas in other cultures, and broadening for both students and faculty. For our students, one of the hardest sections of [2] is Ascher's graph theoretic analysis of the Maori game Mu Torere, which first appeared in this MAGAZINE [1]. I will present a simpler graph for Mu Torere, which makes strategy for playing the game transparent. I will begin by illustrating the graph theoretic technique on a very simple, but still interesting game-the Chinese children's game Pong Hau K'i.
