Awale is a traditional board game originating from West Africa, particularly popular in countries like Senegal and Ghana. It is played on a rectangular board with two rows of six holes, known as pits, and uses seeds or stones as playing pieces. The objective is to capture more seeds than your opponent by strategically sowing and collecting them. The game is typically played by two players, each controlling one side of the board. Players take turns picking seeds from their pits and distributing them in a clockwise direction. Awale is not only a game of strategy and skill but also a cultural activity that fosters social interaction and community bonding.
