MATERIALS
- A warri board with two rows of six pits
- A store pit at each end
- 48 small seeds or beads
HOW TO PLAY
1
Place four seeds in each of the twelve small pits, leaving the two end stores empty.
2
On your turn, empty one pit from your own row and sow its seeds one at a time into the following pits, moving counterclockwise and including your own store but skipping your opponent's.
3
If your final seed lands in an opponent's pit and brings its total to two or three, capture those seeds into your store.
4
Continue checking backward along your opponent's row; any further pit that also now holds two or three seeds is captured too, as long as the chain is unbroken.
5
Play continues until one player's row is empty; the other player then adds their remaining seeds to their own store.
6
Whoever has collected more seeds in their store wins the game.
