Warri is the most popular mancala game played in the northern part of Haiti. It is named after the bush of which the seeds are used in play. Adults play Warri on wooden boards, which have a large hole at each end to store the captured seeds. Children, both boys and girls, dig the boards in the ground. Warri was first described in 1952 by Suzanne Comhaire-Sylvain (1898-1975), the first anthropologue of Haiti. She researched mancala games on Haiti and in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (see Mangola).

She researched mancala games on Haiti and in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (see Mangola). Comhaire-Sylvain claimed that Warri is called Kay ("house") in southern Haiti according to some informants she interviewed in the early 1950s. However, Haitians who were interviewed in 2004 by Víktor Bautista i Roca in the Dominican Republic and in 2006 in Switzerland said that the game of Kay in southern Haiti is similar to Hoyito.
