What is awale?
Awale is an exciting and addictive strategy game from Africa. It belongs to the family of "mancala" - games in which seeds or stones are moved on a special board with holes. The name "mankala" comes from the word "move", which reflects the essence of the game.
In avala, two players play, each controlling a different row of holes.

Capture more of your opponent's "seeds" than he can capture of yours. To do this, you need to think your moves several steps ahead, anticipating your opponent's actions.
Despite the simple rules, Avale has a deep strategic component. It develops logical thinking, memory, concentration, math and planning skills. Avale teaches how to predict, make decisions under uncertainty, and achieve goals.
Although Avale originated in Africa, its popularity has long transcended the continent. Today, it is played all over the world, from the Middle East to China. There are different variations of the game with slight differences in the rules.
