Oware - African Board Game

Oware is one of the oldest and most respected board games in the world. Originating in West Africa over a thousand years ago, it has been a cornerstone of Ghanaian culture — played by traders, farmers, kings, and schoolchildren across every generation. This is Oware Abapa — the competitive, adult variant of the game, used in international tournaments from Accra to London to Toronto. Built in Accra, Ghana by G Online Sites, this app brings the authentic game to your pocket. HOW TO PLAY The board has 12 pits — 6 on each side. Each pit starts with 4 seeds. On your turn, pick up all the seeds from one of your pits and sow them one by one, counter-clockwise around the board. If your last seed lands on your opponent's side making exactly 2 or 3 seeds in that pit — you capture. Chains of 2s and 3s are captured backwards. First player to collect 25 seeds wins.
