Good evening gamers in the house

It's another game review called Awale. It's a game I've been playing for more than a year and it keeps me excited. I just hope you guys enjoy my review.

Awale is a very realistic game with solid wood and clattering stones. It's a board game played in West Africa, especially by the Yoruba people. It's called "Ayo" by the Yoruba people and it's a game commonly played by elderly people. Each time I see this game, it reminds me of my late grandfather

Awale is one of the most competitive games played by elders. When I was growing up as a kid, I used to see elders gathering under the tree to play this game. The fun of it is this ancient game is not only because come from far places to compete with one another, but because while this game is going, elders keep themselves refreshed with palm wine while the best player keeps boasting to others.

According to the way elders play this game, the winner will keep playing until someone is able to challenge him and trash him out otherwise he will keep playing if no one is able send him out of the game. In case you want to know more about Awale you can read it here

Awale is the most intriguing and strategic game in real life because every aspect of life is embedded in this game, and I'm glad developers were able to make it available as a computer game.

GAMEPLAY

Strategically acquire more seeds than your opponent, and prevent them from winning their own seeds. The game challenges your ability to plan while predicting your opponent's choices.

GRAPHICS

Graphics is close to the real life game itself which is nice

BAD SIDES

The strategic aspect of the game needs to be improved. I observed the computer is only interested in winning seeds which on the long run increases opponent's chances of winning. For strategic reasons, the computer could have been programmed in such a way that it should avoid acquiring certain seeds for a more beneficial outcome in later moves

MY EXPERIENCE

Very nice strategy game. It's hard to stop playing when you get started, especially when winning. I enjoy this game a lot cos it's challenging enough to get the whole day stress out

RECOMMENDATIONS

I recommend this game for those who still value our culture.

Happy Gaming!
