1. Boys playing oware, Ahenkro, 1995

Description:

Oware is a game of strategy in which players attempt to capture an opponent's counters or beans as they are moved counter-clockwise through a series of twelve cups (6 on each side of the board). Here young boys have made an oware board in by scooping holes in the dirt. They use dried seeds from the pods of a leguminous tree as counters. Ahenkro, 1995.
