Ivorian Strategy Board Game: "Owale"

"Owale" is the Ivorian name for a grab and drop game, believed to have first been played by the Asante People of Ghana in West Africa.

The owale strategy board game is usually played with 48 small stones, beans, or seeds arranged evenly at the start of the game in two rows of six holes or pits in the earth. The objective is to capture more markers than your opponent..

Each player controls the six houses, or holes, on their side of the board, and the score house on their end. The game begins with a certain number of markers in each of the houses. On a turn, a player chooses one of the houses under his control. The player removes all markers from that house, and distributes them, dropping one in each house, in a process called sowing. Opponents alternate play.

The object of the game is to capture more markers than one's opponent. Capturing a marker occurs only when a player brings the count of an opponent's house to two or three. The player then captures those markers. In other variations, markers may be placed in the scoring house as the markers are sown.

The game ends when a player has captured 25 or more markers or each player has 24, ending in a draw.
