## Description

Product description Originating in Africa, oware is the oldest board game still played all around the world today. Giving hours of fun, this game then stores away into its own beautifully carved box. Comes with instructions. Size 46cm long x 16cm wide when open. Made in Ghana. Due to the hand made nature of this game variations in the designs and imperfections in the wood are part of its character. Directions Included

Review: Really nice! - Really pleased with this. Looked at various Oware boards and many seemed to be variable quality. I wanted one of this style (dark wood staining) and size (46cm) and this one was a good price. Very happy with the board as delivered - I got one matching the design on the store listing. Nice and solid - just the right feel of "rustic hand made in Ghana" but high quality nonetheless. They should change the picture of the open board because mine was nicer looking than the one they show. There were 50 seeds, giving me a couple of spares, but a couple of them were a bit shrivelled so nice to be able to use the best ones. Would recommend to someone wanting an Oware board of this style.
