Description
DISCOVER SONGO — CENTRAL AFRICA'S LEGENDARY STRATEGY GAME
Songo (also spelled Songo'o) is the great strategy game of Central Africa, passed down for generations by the Ekang peoples — Beti, Bulu, Fang, Ewondo, Eton — across Cameroon, Gabon and Equatorial Guinea. Played in village meeting houses and city tournaments alike, it is now in your pocket.
If you grew up with Songo, welcome home. If you love Mancala, Oware or Awale, get ready: this is the deeper, bigger-board cousin you have never played.
REAL SONGO — NOT ANOTHER AWALE CLONE
✔ The authentic 14-pit board (2 rows of 7) ✔ 70 seeds, 5 per pit at the start ✔ Sow around the board, set up captures: first to 40 seeds wins ✔ Complete Songo rules explained inside the app
Songo shares the sowing principle of the Mancala family but has its own movement and capture rules. A 14-pit board instead of 12 — those who know, know.
