The arcade

Play →

19 games — Ayo, Whot and Dara across a table, Snake and Solitaire on your own. Tap one to open the arcade in the app.

Ayo (Oware) The classic seed-sowing strategy game. Capture 25 of the 48 seeds to win. 2 players Whot Naija's card classic — match shape or number, dodge the picks. First to empty their hand wins. 2–6 players Ludo Roll, race four pieces home, and send rivals back to yard. 2–4 players Draughts The bench classic — flying kings, mandatory captures. Take every piece to win. 2 players Dara The Sahel's stone game — drop 12, then slide to line up exactly three and take a stone. 2 players Morabaraba Southern Africa's game of cows — drop 12, line up mills, shoot the herd down to two. 2 players Paperball Football on a school desk — flick folded paper (or corks), one at a time, and put it in the net. Catch it on the corner and it spins. 2 players Jackpot Two teams, four to eight players. Pass the card, collect four of a suit, sign it to your team — and pray they didn't read you. 4–8 players Biro Boxing Two pens, one desk. Flick yours and knock his over the edge — without sending your own after it. 2 players Accro Two lockers, a sliver barely wider than the ball. Swing it through — and mind whether you're on lockers or on shoes. 2 players Last Card The four-color shedding classic — match the color or the value, drop every copy of a value in one turn, watch the reverses, and don't forget to call your last card. First to empty their hand wins. 2–6 players Snake Solo Invaders Solo Pinball Solo 2048 Solo Solitaire Solo Weaver Solo Go-Slow Solo Mai Suya Solo
