I found this home-made board amongst my father's possessions, it must use marbles but I have no idea how it is played. Can anyone throw any light on the subject?
It looks like it's a version of Awithlaknannai, or given the number of segments more accurately Fighting Serpents (which is a translation of the name "Kolowis Awithlaknannai" anyway). It's an abstract game with rules similar to Checkers but, as you've noticed, a slightly odd-shaped board.

Thank you very much, I used Dr. Google and found the rules for fighting serpents, which as you said is a version of checkers. Cheers. :-) – Clive Jan 12 '17 at 7:24
