O An Quan: Vietnamese Mancala

A board drawn in the dirt, a handful of pebbles, and friends gathered to plan their next move. Ô Ăn Quan brings a beloved Vietnamese folk game to iPhone and iPad, inviting you to discover its charm or revisit a childhood favorite.

The rules are easy to learn, but every move takes thought. Which pit should you choose? Which direction should you sow your stones? How can you capture more? Sometimes, one clever move can turn the whole game around.

FROM THE FAMILY YARD TO THE VILLAGE FESTIVAL:

• Begin “A Journey Through the Village,” traveling from the family yard to the village lane, communal courtyard, and festival. • Meet Mai, Duy, Ms. Lan, and other village friends through the story behind each match. • Play against the computer with gradually increasing difficulty, from introductory matches to tougher challenges. • Win to unlock the next match, earn extra stars through optional objectives, and collect a chapter badge when you finish each chapter. • Explore optional side challenges to practice spotting your next move. Skip them whenever you wish and continue the main journey. • Replay matches to earn more stars. Losing a match never takes away the progress you have made.

INVITE A FRIEND TO PLAY:

• Two players, one device: share the board with a friend or family member. • Online play: invite a friend or find an opponent through Game Center.

LEARN AND EXPLORE EVERY MOVE:

• Learn how to sow stones, make captures, and handle different situations through the how-to-play guide. • Save and resume matches against the computer or with two players on one device. • Browse your completed match history. • Replay each move to revisit satisfying captures and imagine a different approach.

A TRADITIONAL BOARD WITH A FRESH LOOK:

• Explore a 3D board, rotate the view, and zoom in for a closer look. • Customize the board and playing pieces to suit your style. • Adjust background music, sound effects, haptic feedback, and piece animation speed.

Whether you grew up playing or are trying it for the first time, it all starts with a game of Ô Ăn Quan. Sow each stone, think through each move, and stay for one more match.
