Omweso Board and beads

This a game they play on the streets of Kampala, and probably many other African cities. It is a game of skill and played for cash! The round black balls are the seeds of one of the local trees, and as far as we could see the number started with did not seem to matter as the game was to pick a handful and distribute them one by one in a clockwise direction, using the two rows on. your side of the board. Every time you had one left you picked up all the beads in the opposite hollows andcontinuue distributing them to the last seed. If it is at the front you pick all the beans in the opponents opposite hollows until you end up with empty hollows opposite. It is played very fast in Uganda and money changes hands at regular intervals!! Definitely not a game for the inexperienced!
