Ayo

Ayo, also known as "Ayoayo" or "Ayo," is a traditional African board game widely played in Nigeria and other West African countries. It involves two players who take turns to sow seeds or pebbles in holes on a wooden board, aiming to capture more seeds than their opponent. The game combines strategy, skill, and tactics, as players must anticipate their opponent's moves and optimize their own. Ayo is not only a source of entertainment but also a way to foster social interaction and cultural heritage among communities. It is similar to other ancient games, like Mancala, enjoyed worldwide.
