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.
