Me and my (now ex) wife are both avid Oware players and really loved watching this game between 2 of the greatest players we had ever seen. During the game I couldnt find my wife and went looking for her only to find her cheating on me with some local Khazak. I was so enraged it took 27 policemen and a crowbar to detain me. I was thrown into Khazak prison for almost 2 years (not for the fight, I was caught loitering) and was released just last week. I have no wife, no family and no money, the past 2 years have been a horrible time in my life and I have been haunted by only one question: who won this great game of Oware?
Sorry for your troubles my fellow Oware enthusiast. I am glad your out. Your story surely deserves an answer. The game was won by Trevor Simon of Antigua who is here with us at the International Awale Tournament in Cannes France.
@Heru Behudety How Oware was used by slaves in the Caribbean to plan their escape from plantations www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/How-Oware-was-used-by-slaves-in-the-Caribbean-to-plan-their-escape-from-plantations-1034452
How many moves do they calculate ahead? Obviously the more you calculate ahead, the better. But even with only 6 possible moves ( smaller than a typical position in chess,) you have 6 moves of yours, then 6 moves of opponent, etc...6*6*6... so it quickly must become impossible to compute. Perhaps some intuition plays a role like in chess?
I just love the sound the seeds make when they are sowed. It's on my bucket list to own this game and learn it!
Did you get one yet?
@@OGPimpin I did actually. I love it

goddamn lmao, pretty crazy story I didn’t expect to hear
@@JM-tf4nk that's because it's not true 😂
We have that game here in the PHILIPPINES,, and it's also a ancient board game here,, it's called SUNGKA here..
That's the one with 7 holes per side, right?
@@OGPimpin yup,,
Shoutout if you came here after reading the Oware chapter in The Game Changers
Ghana always win. No one knows Oware better than the inventors👍👍👍

@Heru Behudety I've done my research kk
I'm learning to play this game and have huge respect for its masters.
Such a cool, but frustrating game. I love the different board designs that they have out there
Where can I get one of those type oware boards and seeds?
Cape Verde Sal
rules looks bit different. wasn't last 1 stone makes capture score?
That is right, can you pin point where in the footage this did not happen?

Where can I buy a board exactly like this???!! It’s incredible!!
Antigua & Barbuda
I have them in Kampala Uganda at 100,000 Ugandan Shillings only
❤😮😢😂😅😊🎉❤.AMEN&Or Thame,!.
I'd love to see Magnus Carlson have a crack at this lol
Are you talking about the Chess player?
It is a different game, so it stands to reason he would be a novice and struggle if he never played it before.
they don't put a stone in their own mancala pot as they pass
Oware is played slightly different than mancala
