Woll was mentioned by Frederick Henry Robertson of Constant Spring Road, Halfway Tree, Jamaica, in his patented mancala game. Sanded fragments of 18th century English earthen wares, which interpreted as mancala counters were found at Drax Hall Estate, an African-American plantation site in Jamaica. Woll was probably played with nickernuts, which are still called "wari" (a common name for Oware and other board games in West Africa) in Jamaican English. Today mancala games appear to be almost extinct on the island.
