I learned this game in school and always wanted my own set. My family loves to play this during the holidays and this is such a beautifully crafted mancala set.

Oware

Kofi C. Agudoawu from Ghana is so committed to the resurrection of the Oware game, he has literally written the practical manual on it, which is officially recognized by the Oware Society in London and Ghana. NOVICA hopes you enjoy our patiently carved sets, some of which feature recycled, plastic shiny beads on the gaming boards.
