Urim is a close variant of Oware, which is played on the island of Brava, Cape Verde and by Cape Verdean migrants in Angola. It is related to Orôà, a mancala game from Guinea-Bissau. Urim is played on wooden boards (banco de ouri) with seeds of Caesalpinia crista L. (nickernuts) by men. The rules of the game differ slightly from island to island.
