Oware Mancala

One of the all-time favourites African games - now for Android!

Play the addictive traditional African Oware mancala game on the go, which works just like the version played in Ghana!

How to play Oware? The rules are simple! The pots on your side of the board are yours and the pots on the other side are for your opponent’s stones. The big pot on the right is your mancala. On the left is your opponent’s mancala. You pick any of the pots on your side and pick up all the stones by tapping them on the screen. They are then placed, going anti-clockwise, one stone in each pot. If your last stone falls in your mancala, you get another turn and can play again. If your last stone falls in an empty pot, you get all your opponent’s stones in the pot on the opposite side. When one player has no stones left, the game is over. The player with the most stones in their mancala is the winner – you can track the score on the top of the screen!

The app boasts great graphics and animations – watch the stones obey the laws of physics as you tap them! This leads to an immersive experience just like the real game. You can also play the game anytime and anywhere to improve your skills whenever you have a free moment. Train your brain!

Another great feature is the two player mode. That is right – you can choose to play against the game itself or your friends – on one device. Best of all, this game is completely free to play. Install it now and become an Oware Mancala master! Make sure you tell your friends and family about Oware Mancala and write a review if you enjoy it too – our developers love getting your feedback.
