Looking for Awale, Awari or Wari? Regional names and rules vary; this app labels its four included rulesets separately.

LEARN BY PLAYING
Guided lessons teach sowing, capturing, feeding and strategy on the board. Follow learning journeys, practise tactical positions and use hints when you need a hand.

CHALLENGE KOFI
Choose three strengths and three playing styles. Enter the solo Kofi Cup against seven computer opponents, or take on all nine Kofis on the Road to Champion.

BRING EVERYONE TO THE BOARD
Play two-player matches on one device, or host a round-robin or knockout tournament for 3–8 players on one phone. Two-game tournament matches give each player a turn to start.

FOUR DISTINCT RULESETS
Play Oware Abapa, Anan-Anan, Nam-Nam and Ayoayo (Ayò Ọlọ́pọ́n). Explore feeding and backward captures in Abapa, making fours in Anan-Anan, territory rounds in Nam-Nam and relay sowing in Ayoayo. Regional names and rules vary; each included ruleset is clearly labelled.

KEEP IMPROVING
Replay your last 20 matches move by move, review key moments with Kofi and try the weekly challenge. Resume unfinished matches and keep your records and progress on your device.

PLAY COMFORTABLY
Choose high contrast, reduced motion, seed counts, sound and haptics. Practise at your pace with undo in Practice and adjustable sowing speed.

ALL FOUR RULESETS ARE FREE
Play every ruleset offline against Kofi or in local two-player mode. Rewarded ads are optional: try a board, add a hint or double seeds earned in a finished Kofi match. Ads never interrupt a match, lesson or animation, and never open on their own.

SUPPORTER PACK
One purchase permanently unlocks every current and future board design, removes all ad offers and includes two free hints per Kofi match. All four rulesets stay free for everyone.

YOUR CHOICE
No game account is required. Usage analytics and crash sharing are separate, optional choices in Settings and stay off until enabled.
