Ouri is a close variant of Oware, which is played on Cape Verde and by Cape Verdean migrants in Angola, Portugal and the USA. The game is shown in many works of Manuel Figueira, a well-known artist from Sao Vicente, and numerous other contemporary painters who were born in Cape Verde. The Ouri rules differ slightly from island to island. The following rules (given by Miceu Tavares) are used in large inter-school tournaments with over 2,100 participants in Portugal.
