Awele

awele-kids-game Awele is a strategic game that originated in Africa and can be played outdoors with the game drawn in the sand or anywhere with an actual game board.

1. The game board is constructed by taking a regular one dozen egg carton and placing 4 beans in each of the pockets. Players are each assigned a pocket which is located on 1 side.

2. Players in this game will take turns removing all of their beans from one of their holes in the carton while moving the action in a counter-clockwise direction redistributing them 1 by 1 into other pockets.

3. When a player distributes his last bean and it ends up in another player’s pocket which already contains 2-3 beans, the player with this last bean will seize those beans as well as the beans in the preceding pocket. Play continues like this until they have made a complete revolution of the game table.

4. Each player must deposit beans throughout the game board, with the first pocket to remain empty. If a player’s beans are all gone, an opposing player will offer to give him one. If this proves ineffective, all players will pickup their beans and the game ends. A count is taken and the player with the most beans at the end of the game wins.
