Warri (meaning "house") is the national mancala game of Antigua and Barbuda. The game is also promoted by the owner of the Tipple Tree Hotel in Belize who has boards and instructions from Antigua in his guest rooms. The game is a variant of Oware, which was brought to Antigua in the early 18th century by African slaves. In 2002, HAMA films produced the drama "No Seed", which is a story of power and deception that parallels a Warri game. Warri is traditionally played with nickernuts, locally known as "nickars". "When you play Warri with God, you get no seed." Antigua Proverb.

  • Warri (meaning "house") is the national mancala game of Antigua and Barbuda. The game is also promoted by the owner of the Tipple Tree Hotel in Belize who has boards and instructions from Antigua in his guest rooms. The game is a variant of Oware, which was brought to Antigua in the early 18th century by African slaves. There are many tournaments, such as the Taxi Drivers Tournament at the Heavenly Hill Art Gallery in Johnson's Point, the Women International Warri Championship at the Jolly Beach Resort and the National Warri Festival (also known as "Antiguan Open International Warri Tournament") usually held each October in the Multi-Purpose Cultural Centre, St. John's . The best players are Trevor Simon, September Christian and Pumpkin Lewis who rival West African Oware masters. They are organized in the National Warri Association which is presided by Everton Jacobs. In 2002, HAMA films produced the drama "No Seed", which is a story of power and deception that parallels a Warri game. Warri is traditionally played with nickernuts, locally known as "nickars".
