I think some people call it Oware (rhymes with 'safari') and it's a variation of the group of games know as Mancala.
Probably.

I used this board ( above ) but I'd love to own one in this lovely warm reddish wood. I don't know what kind of wood it is, but I like it anyway.
I thought this picture, which I found on the internet, was really interesting. I wonder how big this board/table actually is?
