## Description
_Wari_ is one of a package of games produced by The Code Zone. Games from
this package were used, in various combinations, in around twenty different
game compilation packages.
_Wari_ is a single-player, strategy game where the object is capture more
pieces than the computer opponent. This is a traditional game that is played
throughout western Africa and which also goes under the names Oware, Ay o,
Awale, Ouri, Ouril, Uril, Warri, Adji, Nchọ and Awele. As can be expected of a
game that is played over such a wide geographic area there are variations on
the basic game. In this version each player has sixteen seeds distributed
across the row of six pits in front of them. At the end of each row is the
player’s home pit. Players take it in turn to move the seeds out of one pit
clockwise into the adjacent pits. All seeds landing in the home pit stay
there, if the last seed played lands in the home pit the player gets another
turn. The game ends when a player has no more seeds to move, at that point the
player with the most seeds in their home pit wins.
The game is entirely mouse controlled. It is played in a window which cannot
be re-sized. The game has sound, four levels of difficulty, in-game help
screens, and a choice of playing piece, colour and screen background.
