Tsoro yematatu is a two-player abstract strategy game from Zimbabwe. Players first drop their three pieces onto the board, and then move them to create a 3 in-a-row which wins the game. It is similar to games like Tapatan, Achi, Nine holes, Shisima, and Tant Fant. However, what makes this game unique is that pieces can jump over each other (without capture) which adds an extra dimension in the maneuverability of the pieces.

There is some uncertainty about the correct name as Tsoro yemamutatu is also used; 'ma' or 'mai' being the chikaranga for 'mother'...hence 'mamutatu' means 'mother mutatu'.
