Owela

Owela is the classic seed-sowing strategy game played across Namibia for generations, now on your phone.

Two players face off on a four-row board. Pick up the seeds from one of your pits and sow them counter-clockwise around your two rows. If your last seed lands in an occupied pit, scoop them up and keep going: one smart move can set off a long chain. Land in your inner row while your opponent has seeds in that column, and you capture them. A player with no legal move loses.

PLAY YOUR WAY • Play with bot: take on a computer opponent that thinks ahead • Play with a friend: pass-and-play on one device • Five difficulty levels: Easy, Medium, Pro, and the bigger Nekongo (12-column) and Nanghambe (14-column) boards for true masters

LEARN AS YOU GO • Built-in "How to Play" guide and an optional auto tutorial • Hint mode: preview a move before you commit to it • Long-press any pit to check its seed count

MADE TO FEEL RIGHT • Smooth sowing animations with satisfying stone sounds • Tap or drag to move, whichever you prefer • Adjustable game speed: Slow, Normal or Fast • Toggle music and sound effects • Works fully offline, no account needed

Easy to learn and deep to master, Owela rewards patience, counting and long-term planning.
