Learn oware in minutes with a hands-on tutorial, then climb a fair AI ladder. Offline, no ads, no account. Oware — the ancient West African sowing game — finally has a calm, modern home. Learn awalé in minutes with a hands-on tutorial, then face an opponent that plays fair: an AI you can actually beat on easy, and one worth beating at the top of the ladder. Offline, no ads, no account. KEY FEATURES - Interactive tutorial: sow, capture, and win on a live board — you learn by playing, not by reading rules - A fair AI ladder: from a genuinely beatable beginner to a deep, punishing expert — it never cheats and never sees hidden information - Pass & play: two players, one phone, the classic way - The full base game free, forever: complete Abapa rules, the tutorial, and the easy AI - Your stats: games, wins, captures, and your climb up the ladder - Board themes: wood, stone, and calabash skins WHO IT'S FOR Players who grew up with a physical oware, awalé, or ayo board and want the real game in their pocket — and abstract-strategy fans looking for a deep classic with a credible opponent. WHAT'S DIFFERENT Most oware apps are abandoned, ad-choked, or ship an opponent players don't trust. This one is maintained, has zero ads, teaches the game properly, and its AI plays by exactly the rules you see. One honest one-time unlock opens the full AI ladder, themes, and stats — no subscription, no power-ups. A game of Ghana and West Africa, part of the wider sowing family — awalé, ayo, wari, bao — presented with the respect the classic deserves. PRIVACY Your games and stats stay on your device.
