Developer description, as provided in the original store listing.

Ayo Game is a board game played all over Africa and some parts of Asia, America and the carribean. It is a strategy board game belonging to Mancala type game (count and sow). The first version of this game developed by bonako is based on two variants of game play- Pia and Seca – that is popular in Cape Verde Islands.

Mancala is an ancient game that some believe it was invented in Egypt during the time of the pharaohs and was later taken to various parts of Asia and other parts of Africa. During the slavery, it was taken to Americas and Carribean.

Mancala is considered the most ancient Board game by many authors. This is the African Chess, as it is hard to master and very good to practice math, calculus and creativity.
