What Makes Urubugu Stand Out
Urubugu is a millenium-old game from Africa, which is still very popular in Burundi and in Rwanda. It belongs to mancala games big family, which are seeding games where seeds are to be placed in pits according to rules that appear quite simple, but turn out to be extremely rich and subtle.
If you want to equal the skills of the elders, you will have to learn to anticipate, to think quickly, and to adapt to the constant changes on the board…
This is a game for two players, but you can also play alone against the computer !
It is ad-free, and also available on Mac !

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Thanks to developers of this game!! We think Itd be more fun with sound effects.
It doesnt work properly. Even though we set it to not play automatically, to let us place the seeds, it still places them automatically so that you sit there and watch the game and dont actually play. We plan on asking for a refund.
