Cross-Wari is a variant of the traditional Mancala game Wari. Cross-Wari follows all the rules of Wari except that holes with an odd number of beans sow clockwise, whereas holes with an even number continue to sow counterclockwise. This results in new tactics that permit you to keep beans on your side of the board or to control the direction of sowing. If the flow of beans in Wari can be described as a direct current, the flow in Cross-Wari is an alternating current. For a complete statement of the rules, please read the "Game Description" in the Help menu. Cross-Wari comes with four variants. NOTE: Wari has been substantially revised to include three new variants, to increase hole capacity from 24 beans to 36 beans, and to optimize the code. If you previously downloaded the game, I recommend that you download the new version. Please send any comments or bug reports to dtroyka@justice.com.
