Oware

Categories:  Seed Games

Oware is the oldest game in the world and is normally described as a seed game. Thought to be 6000 years old and it can still prove a challenge to play the game well even after all this time. Each player can take all of the seeds from any hole on their side of the board and then simply seeds them into all the other slots one at a time.
