Barbados Warri is one of two mancala games played on Barbados. The game is also called English Wari. It is a variant of Oware, which is played in Nigeria. The other mancala game known on Barbados is Round-and-Round Warri or "French Wari". In 2001, Coline Depardine used the rules to Barbados Warri in her research on evolutionary computation. Barbados Warri is traditionally played with "horse nickars" on wooden boards, whose holes have sometimes deep groves shaped by decades of intensive play.
