Owari

Owari is a variant of Mancala in which you sow stones around a board and try to capture stones from your opponent’s row. The first player to score 25 points wins. A tutorial covers the basics.

How to play

You pick up the stones from a pit and sow them around the board. Landing in a pit with 2 or 3 stones scores points.

AI opponents

You can play against AI at three difficulty levels. The easy AI tries to capture as much as it can with little regard for defense, while the medium AI is more careful about leaving itself open. The hard AI thinks one step ahead to challenge more advanced players.

Multiplayer

Owari supports local and online play with another player. Online, you can host a private lobby for a friend or wait for or join a match in the public lobby.

Style and inspiration

Owari draws inspiration from the DOS game Wari: The Ancient Game of Africa and reworks it with a modern aesthetic.
