Oware African Board Game

One of the world's oldest strategy games, in a set worthy of it. Oware has been played across West Africa and the Caribbean for thousands of years: two players, twelve cups, and a deceptively simple system of sowing seeds around the board and capturing your opponent's pieces. It takes minutes to learn and a lifetime to master.

This Ghanaian set comes with a hand-carved wooden board decorated with traditional symbols or animal designs - each board is individual - together with natural stone playing seeds and a fitted drawstring bag in vibrant African fabric to keep everything together.

Deeply rooted in Ghanaian social life, oware makes a brilliant family game and a genuinely different gift.

Made in Ghana under Fair Trade principles.
