Jeu de Waré - Wari Game

... Wari and related board games ... A bit of math : on the 3x+1 problem
<http://personal.computrain.nl/eric/>
Wari is a very old game from Africa. It belongs to the large group of Mancala games. All of these games are played by moving uniform pieces around a oard. Wari is a game of pure mental skill: no luck is involved. Only practice will allow you to reach higher levels of play.

The following text offers general information about this game. To find out more about each game in the Museum's Collection, click on a picture in the table at the bottom of this page.

This unique Count and Capture board was purchased by the Museum in 1982 at a shop in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The shop owner indicated that the board was acquired from Upper Volta (the then political name of Burkina Faso)

The game of AWELE is the most popular game in western Africa. It is often considered as an agricultural metaphor: playing can be viewed as sowing seeds; places with many seeds are lofts; your objective is to live on your opponent's harvest without making him starve; and so forth.

El wari es el ajedrez de Ãfrica. Es un juego practicado desde hace milenios, en su distintas variantes, por la gente de Ãfrica y oriente medio. La variante que se suele llamar "wari", "ourri", "warri", "oware", "awari", "awele", o similares -que es la que comentaré aquÃ- se juega en Costa de Marfil y en el Caribe. Lugar al que fue llevada por los esclavos negros.

We solved the game of awari! When both players play optimally, the game ends in a draw. With the applet below, you can play a game against a (potentially) infallible opponent, and look up the eventual score of every position that can be reached in a game.

Certain endgame considerations in the two-player Nigerian Mancala-type game Ayo can be identified with the problem of finding winning positions in the solitaire game Tchoukaitlon. The periodicity of the pit occupancies in s stone winning positions is determined. Given n pits, the number of stones in a winning position is found to be asymptotically bounded by n^2/pi.

Dots-and-Boxes is a child's game which remains analytically unsolved. We implement and evolve artificial neural networks to play this game, evaluating them against simple heuristic players. Our networks do not evaluate or predict the final outcome of the game, but rather recommend moves at each stage. Superior generalisation of play by co-evolved populations is found, and a comparison made with networks trained by back-propagation using simple heuristics as an oracle.
