Oware, a classic mancala game

Oware, also known as awale, awalé or wari, is a West African strategy game from the large mancala family. Two players take turns sowing 48 seeds around the 12 pits of a board, trying to capture their opponent’s seeds. On PlayAwale you can play it free online: against eight AI levels, with a friend on the same screen, or over the internet.
