Introduction:
The Wari is a game called Mancala games family. These games have begun
to know in some countries of the West in very recent times. Practiced
regularly in Africa, Middle East, Eastern parts of Asia and in the Caribbean. It
seems that its origins is as remote as the ancient Egypt times, back in the
10th to 15th BC centuries Already in our era, Islam took them with him
towards other Eastern parts of Asia. More recently, the traffic of slaves from
Africa to America and the Caribbean as a way-station, made this type of
games to settle there.
All Mancala games have common characteristics, based mainly on the type
of Board and parts with which to play, as well as the most basic rules. Of
these, most widespread, and which has been adopted in various Western
countries is the Wari, Oware, or Oware (receives another large number of
names, but these three are possibly the best known). The Wari is originally
from the North of the Gulf of Guinea, where later was extended towards the
West Indies
