Match between Grandmaster players Trevor Simon of Antigua & Barbuda and Ibrahim Abubakar of Ghana 

Me too!

Same

me too. just wanted to revive my childhood

I also searched

which rule variation were they playing ?

😂

PRRREEEEAAACH!!!

In his defense he usually films with a potatoe and has never had to focus before. This camera is giving him fits.

Soooo true 😂😂

Well stalling time has a disadvantage it's when you over load him with rocks he has to give it back to you and you will win when he has no rocks in his raw and that's game over :)

Mancala can be just as challenging, but what is shown here is oware, a West African game.

​@@hananokuni2580well if he's referring to the Mancala family of games and not the American variant specifically he's not really wrong

@@Metasas The American version of mancala is probably the simplest one. Even so it does provide a certain degree of intellectual challenge. I'm more of an oware guy myself. Oware _really_ puts my mind to work!

@@hananokuni2580 I've tried to branch out into other games like Ayo, Oware and Bao but the computer absolutely destroys me in those

Abapa

I wonder the same thing. They are playing different from how I learned.

​@@TheOwareSociety are there videos or instructions for these rules? I would like to play the best way with my nephew.

lekkerSicko

Why?

Blow it out your ass

StanislavyeungHK but that’s not racist

@KLGoodman How?

Gotta be

Yep Abapa rules

That the Akan name but it also goes by different names in west Africa.

Native American*

This is the 21st century and you really asking these type of questions? Unless you live under a rock i would understand lol

@@yezzyr.1499 instead of offering such a jack ass response, either tell us where we can find a board like that or say nothing at all if u have nothing of value to offer. I am too looking for a board like this one or the orange plastic non foldable one.

@Deshawn Irby instead of offering such a jack ass response, either tell us where we can find a board like or say nothing at all if you have nothing of value to offer. (I'll actually tell yall Instead of being like this guy and being full aggro while not helping anyone. Buy a Nintendo Switch and play mancala Online on "Clubhouse Games" so you don't spread covid 19 to your opponents and your number of opponents is larger than your friend group)

@@DeshawnIrby the same way you had easy access to RU-vid you should have access to Google. Do a quick search. Dang I don't even know where you're located how could I possible directed you to the right place... ANYWAYS I thought everyone knew about amazon.com but I guess not everyone is aware, hope that helps.

I meant where can you buy a nice, big, hardwood board like that. Obviously I can Google it and buy a cheap made in China one. In fact I already have one. But I would rather have something nice and substantial like what they are using.

This is Oware predominantly played in West Afrika and some countries in the Caribbean. You probably played Mancala popular in the US.

Yes

Someone lmk

@@nathanielsongstad2170 probably trying to keep the additions even so they can land on their own big pot and then strategize again

It's "Abapa" rules

What are the normal rules?

SonicAvalanche if you land on an empty space on your side with one seed and there are seeds on the space above it, you “capture” those seeds and add them to your store, also if the last seed you placed ends on the store you get a free turn
