The name of the game

I learned to play a new game today. You move the seeds around the board and try to capture those which belong to your opponent. It's easy to learn and is tons of fun to play.

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?
