I'm downloading the demo now to check out, because I'm also a big fan of strategy games like this. Let me know what you think of the game!<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/awele.jpg" /><br /><br />"Awele is a fascinating game in which two opponents try to capture as many seeds as possible. It is played on a board with six "holes" or "cups" and each player takes turn at distributing or "sowing" their seeds in the different holes. Awele is very easy to learn, but can take a lifetime to master! You'll find its give and take approach to strategy intriguing and very different from other board games. What's more, there is no chance factor involved, so success is entirely dependant on your ability to reason and count."<br /><br />Awele can be <a href="http://www.handango.com/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=311&platformId=2&productType=2&catalog=0&amp;amp;sectionId=0&productId=27378">puchased from Handango for $14.95</a> (affiliate link), and there's a free demo to check out.

Isn't this one of the games included in recent Nokia phones? It's very addictive.
this versin has better graphics though!
If anyone has tried it - how strong a player is the computer?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this looks alot like the game Mancala. Is it the same?

It's a take of the African game wari or sometimes called owari. It's been shown to have existed in Ancient Africa even predating the Kemetic (Egyptians to the unenlightened) Kingdoms.

They also play this game in the Phillipines, with little sea shells. I forget what they call it there, though.
