AWARI
AWARI is a traditional African game for two played on a board with fourteen holes arranged in an elliptical format.
Six belong to each side, with the end ones being the home holes. Within these you sow seeds. Initially three for each hole are provided.
The object of the game is to get more seeds in your home than your opponent.
Play consists of taking the seeds in one of your own holes and distributing them, one by one, anti-clockwise round the holes, starting at the adjacent one.
Seeds that fall in your own home hole will stay there. Apart from these there are only two more rules to learn:
- If, on your turn, you sow seeds which result in your last seed falling into your home you can have a second turn
- If your last seed falls into an empty hole and the opposite - whether your own or your opponent's - hole contains some seeds, then you capture these, plus the one you were putting into the empty hole, and add the lot to your home hole.
- The game is over when one side or the other has completely empty holes.
- To specify a move you need only type in the hole's number from which you will be sowing from.
