It is an abstract board game for two players, which uses a table consisting of 4 rows of 8 holes and 64 seeds. The equipment is therefore the same as the Bao; However, no particular meaning to the hole is attributed in the homweso House .        (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Omweso is a very important game in the Mancala family, and there are numerous variants in southern and oriental Africa, which differ from the standard game only for very few rules and will consequently be presented by difference. A minor variant of the WHOWSO is the Choir , played in the Lango region, in Uganda; equal to the choir, with a different table, is the Aweet Sudanese. Essentially the same game (with some simplification) is called Winner O House (sometimes written || House O || hues ) in namibia. [first] Still minor variants of the homweso are the Cup (played in Lamu, Kenya), the The Lord (Mombasa, still Kenya), the Mongolian (Congo) e l ‘ TEST (Rwanda). The Kiela dell’Angola is also very similar to the homweso. The name “Omweso” and its derivatives arise from contractions of the Swahili expression Wooden games , literally “games with Tavoliere” (from Paola Wooden , Tavoliere, derive the names of others misses like Bao). Always in Swahili, Cup It has two possible meanings: “dig” (the holes) or “clean up”, or “send in ruins” (the opponent). Timber of the cup It means the “TAVOLIERE DOPD” E Cup game It means “the game of cleaning up”. “Mongol” and “Mongale” are both names derived from the same root as Divine , L’Arabo first , “move” (the seeds).

The seeds can be freely arranged by each player in their holes. Some typical provisions are: 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 4 0 4 0 4 0 4 0 0 4 0 4 0 4 0 4 4 0 4 0 4 0 4 0 0 4 0 4 0 4 0 4 Game shift [ change | Modifica Wikitesto ] At its turn, the player takes all the seeds from any hole occupied by at least two seeds and sows them counterclockwise. If the last seed is laid in an empty hole, the turn is completed. If the last seed is laid in a busy hole, this can give rise to a capture or a relay sowing, respectively depending on whether the hole in question is or not a marker . And marker It is an internal hole containing at least one seed and positioned in the same column of two opposing holes both occupied by seeds. In some places (but not in the official rules of Uganda), the holes of the external row are also considered marker, under the same conditions.        (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4If the last seed is placed in a marker, all the opposing seeds present in the two holes of that column are captured and sown by the player who performed the capture. The sowing of the seeds captured starts from the cell following the one from which the seeds that led to capture had been taken; In other words, he retraces the same boxes crossed by the previous sowing (in the case of a relay sowing, or a sequence of sowing, the boxes traveled by the last sowing of the sequence are retraced). As in the bao, relay sowing and catches can be freely alternated during a turn. Any sowing (both at the beginning and during a turn) can also be performed, at the discretion of the player, in the sense hours As long as this seeds leads to a capture and that the sowing starts from one of the four more left holes (the two internal and the two exterior left) of the rows of the player on duty. Sometimes the most restrictive rule is imposed for which it can be sown in an anti -eral sense only during a relay, if the last seed of a sowing is placed in one of the two more left holes of the player’s files (and in any case only if the reversal of the sense of sowing leads to a capture). Players are generally required to make their move faster as possible; An excessive performance is sometimes paid with the immediate conclusion of the round. In the official rules used in Uganda, for example, the player has three seconds time to play; A referee is in charge of counting the three seconds, marking the first two with the words man. ed Empty . Often it is also considered lawful, for a player, to skip his turn (for example if he doesn’t know what to do); However, if the opponent “jumps”, the first player is required to move immediately. Victory [ change | Modifica Wikitesto ] The “normal” victory takes place when one of the players can no longer move (and therefore loses). Omweso also includes other possible victory methods: The wife : a player who captures for two next rounds before the opponent managed to perform the first capture, immediately won the game. The tops-two heads (literally “cut at the two ends”): a player who captures the opposing pieces on the first and last column in a single move immediately wins the game. A particular case of victory called A billion , it happens when a player, in a single round, captures from all opposing holes (therefore the opponent must have seeds in all holes), concluding the sequence of catches with one of the columns at the extremes. This “coat”, in a tournament, generally counts as more (often many) “normal” victories. Mosse infinite [ change | Modifica Wikitesto ] It is theoretically possible that a sowing triggers an infinite chain (a circle) of sowing, resulting in an infinite game round. For this reason, in the tournaments, a higher time limit is imposed on the duration of a move, exceeded which the game is canceled. Since the captured seeds are not removed from the game, but they only pass by hand, even the duration of the game can become remarkable, especially among non -expert players. Variant house [ change | Modifica Wikitesto ] Tavoliere from Omwela 4×6 (Swakopmund, Namibia) The Hus or Omwela is played by the populations Berg-Dama, Nama, Herero, Kanyama, Ndonga, Kwangari, Mbukushu and Heiom of Namibia. The name is sometimes written || H\u016bs; The “||” It represents one of the Consonant Clica of the Khoisan languages, a snap with the language similar to what you do to incite a horse. Generally, the hus is played with a 4×8 tabletier like that of the WHOWSO, with 48 seeds (24 per player). The initial arrangement of the seeds is as follows: 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 In Namibia, however, tables from Omwela are also widespread with different sizing; In particular, 4×6 ones are quite common. In the hus, only the holes in the internal row are considered marker (they cannot be captured by depositing a seed in the external row). There are two other differences compared to OMWESSO: sowing is never allowed clockwise; And the only expected victory condition is the “normal” one (he loses the player who is no longer able to move). Variant igasoro [ change | Modifica Wikitesto ] In the hygisier, the initial arrangement of the pieces is in number of 4 per hole for each internal file hole. The markers are, as in the hus, the holes of the internal row positioned in the same column of two occupied opposing holes. It is sown in an anti -eral sense; But if a sowing ends in one of the four holes highlighted below, and gives rise to a relay or a capture, the verse of the subsequent sowing can be chosen freely. The sense of sowing must be maintained for the rest of the round (unless you fall again in one of these holes). X 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 X 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 X 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 X Choir variant [ change | Modifica Wikitesto ] The Choir Played in the Lango region in Uganda, it differs from the WHOWSO in the fact that in a capture not only the opponent seeds are taken, but also those of their hole in front of those captured opponents. Variante Aweet [ change | Modifica Wikitesto ] It Aweet It differs from the choir only in the size of the table, consisting of 4 rows of 10 holes. Variante Cup [ change | Modifica Wikitesto ] The initial arrangement of the seeds in Cup It generally follows a different scheme from those used for the OMWESSO: 5 5 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 2 2 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6 2 2 2 0 0 0 0 5 5 5 5 The capture follows the same rules as the WHOWSO, but only the seeds of the opponent hole are caught internal . In addition, it is always allowed to start a clockwise sowing on condition that this leads, at least indirectly, to a capture. A typical costume of Kombe players is to distribute the seeds, during a sowing, following a bizarre order, not necessarily in order. The final result must be that of conventional sowing, but it is not unusual, for example, that a player calculates in advance where his sowing will end and lay down the seeds in the holes backwards, probably in order to confuse the opponent (also in the case of the komba, players are required to move in the shortest possible time). Variant Mongale [ change | Modifica Wikitesto ] The The Lord Use 68 seeds arranged as follows: 4 4 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 2 2 0 7 0 0 7 7 0 0 7 0 2 2 2 0 0 0 0 4 4 4 Mongol Variant [ change | Modifica Wikitesto ] The Mongolian Use 4×7 tables instead of 4×8, and only 56 seeds. The initial arrangement of the seeds is a variant of the “checkered” provision of the WHOWESSO :: 4 0 4 0 4 0 4 0 4 0 4 0 4 0 0 4 0 4 0 4 0 4 0 4 0 4 0 4 The rules of the game differ from those of the WHOWSO in two ways: they consider themselves marker (holes from which it is possible to catch) only the holes that contain at least due seeds (instead of at least one). If the last seed of a sowing would fall into a hole with less than two seeds, it is placed in the next hole; Whatever the content of this hole, the turn ends, without capture. Standards [ change | Modifica Wikitesto ] The tables from Omweso dell’Uganda are among the most appreciable as ornamental objects. The typical dimensions are 20x50cm for about 2 cm thick; The houses have oblique walls and there are no empty spaces between both. The Tavoliere is almost never perfectly rectangular; The right and left sides are slightly curved inwards. The typical pieces used are seeds of Mesoneurum welwitschianum , and appear as black spheres almost perfect about 1 cm in diameter. Cup [ change | Modifica Wikitesto ] The Lamu Kombe tables are particularly large and solid; The typical dimensions are at least 35×70 cm for 4 cm in height. Usually, the fourth hole from the right of the internal files is square; The reason is that this hole has a special meaning in other games for which Tavoliere himself is used (see Bao); In addition, there are often two large “pockets” protruding from one of the sides of the Tavoliere (also these are used in the Bao or in the misses where the captured pieces are removed from the table). The typically used seeds are of Caesalpinia bonduc a type of pea; In appearance and dimensions are rather similar to green olives, but they have the characteristic that, due to the mobility of the internal seed, shaking them produce a sound of sonaglio and tend not to bounce when they let them fall on the table. Takes completely similar, with this type of seed, are also found in other regions of Africa where you play Mancala who use the same equipment, for example in Malawi. The Omweso is considered a game for men only, and was associated in the past with the Kabaka court, from which the motto “if you don’t play Omweso you don’t know what happens” (that is: play omweso was a way to find himself at court and be informed of the decisions of the rulers).
