Ayo or Oware Board
Traditional hand made Ayo board. Wooden board with 48 seeds.
Our Ayo boards also come with instructions in case its been a while since you last enjoyed a match!
This game has a beautiful hand crafted tactile feel and is great to play for children or as adults. It is also great for mental maths practise for young and older minds alike!
Why it's on The Cornrow?
Mancala board games can be found all across Africa. Versions of the game date back to the 7th century and evidence suggests the game existed in Ancient Egypt. It is among the oldest known games to still be widely played today.
As Yoruba sisters, we call it Ayo, but you might also know it as Oware or Endodoi. We couldn't have a Cornrow Games section without giving Ayo its shine!
All The Cornrow purchases can be beautifully gift wrapped in one of our special wrapping papers for £3 per product. Simply select this option at checkout and we will do the rest.
