Oware is perhaps the most widespread game in the mancala family of games.
Considered the national game of Bono State, Ashanti City-State, oware is said to derive its name — which literally means he she marries — from a legend in the Akan language and Twi,  the language of the Akan people, about a man and a woman who played the game endlessly and, so as to be able to stay together and continue playing, they married.]
Reflecting traditional African values, players of oware encourage participation by onlookers, making it perhaps the most social two-player abstract. In recreational play, it is normal for spectators to discuss the game in progress and to advise the players. Games may provide a focus for entertainment and meeting others. The game, or variations of it, also had an important role in teaching arithmetic to African children.
