First the game was explained and the templates for creating a board
and instructions for playing were provided:
(Def) Waurie is a game played in the Cayman Islands. Legend has it that the game was introduced to
Grand Cayman by the pirate Black Beard after one of his voyages to Africa. The game uses a
board of 12 holes called "bowls" and two stores at both ends called "mancalas". At the start there
are four seeds or nuts in each hole and each player claims one of the mancalas and the 6 bowls to
the right of her mancala. On each turn, a player distributes the contents of one of her holes, one
by seed is dropped into the player's own mancala, she gets to move again. The turn is over if the
last seed falls into a bowl or the opponent's mancala. The game ends when all bowls of a player
are empty. The player who has no seeds left in her bowls is the winner.
