## Description

Learn Oware—also searched as Awale, Awari, Wari and Ayo—then play four distinct rulesets offline against Kofi or face to face, with no forced ads.

Play Ghanaian Oware and Yoruba Ayò Ọlọpọn. Learn four distinct mancala rulesets through guided lessons, challenge Kofi AI, solve strategy puzzles, or share one device for local two-player matches—even offline.

Oware belongs to the wider Mancala family and is also searched under names such as Awale, Awari, Wari, and Ayo. Names and regional rules vary, so this app labels every included ruleset clearly rather than treating the traditions as interchangeable.

Oware Ayo combines a clear, crafted board with thoughtful computer opponents, tactical practice, match review, and private progress stored on your device.

LEARN BY PLAYING

Interactive lessons teach sowing, capturing, feeding, strategy, and Oware directly on the board. Legal-move highlights, optional seed counts, hints, sound, haptics, and readable move feedback help newcomers understand each turn.

PLAY OFFLINE YOUR WAY

• Challenge Kofi at three strengths and three playing styles
• Play local two-player matches on one device
• Choose one game, first to two, or first to three for local series
• Explore four named rulesets: Oware Abapa, Anan-Anan, Nam-Nam, and Ayò Ọlọpọn
• Solve tactical positions and build skill-based mastery
• Review completed matches and decisive moments
• Resume unfinished matches safely
• Track private records and ruleset results on your device
• Choose high contrast, reduced motion, sound, haptics, and seed-count settings

FOUR DISTINCT RULESETS

Abapa uses feeding and backward two-or-three captures. Anan-Anan centers on making fours. Nam-Nam continues across territory rounds. Ayò Ọlọpọn uses relay sowing. Each ruleset is named separately because regional names and rules are not always interchangeable.

FREE ABAPA, OPTIONAL ACCESS

Abapa is permanently free and fully playable offline against Kofi or in local two-player mode. When available, a voluntary rewarded ad can open one complete match in any of the other three rulesets. Ads never interrupt a match, lesson, animation, or result.

SUPPORTER PACK

The one-time Supporter Pack permanently unlocks all four rulesets and every current board design, removes every ad offer, and includes one additional free hint per Kofi match. Purchases can be restored from Ways to Play.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT

No account is required. Matches, settings, statistics, and progress remain on your device. Usage analytics and crash sharing are separate optional choices in Settings and remain off until enabled.
