Description

Babtun's Ayo is an engaging easy-to-learn mobile version of a traditional African board game.

Ayo (pronounced 'ah-yo') is its Yoruba name; other names include Awalé, Mancala and Oware. No matter its name, the game is engaging and fun to play. Many people use it to while away time when bored.

This app gives you more ways of enjoying the game than a physical board could. You can:

- keep in touch with family and friends by inviting them to play online;

- play as many people as you like at the same time, wherever they may be in the world;

- improve your mastery of the game by playing the computer, as a beginner (level 1), a master (level 4) or someone in-between;

- see your placing on the leaderboard whenever you win or lose an online game;

- play a turn on your iPhone or iPad then continue playing on the other, via iCloud;

- use social media to invite friends and family to play online.

Learning to play the game is easy. Watch the two demos in this app and you will pick it up just like that. Why don't you try it out and see?
