Oware and Mancala

GoldToken's implementation of Mancala is also called Oware.
Mancala refers to a large set of stone games played with the same or similar equipment throughout the continent of Africa.
It can also refer to any one of the many games belonging to this collection.
A subset of these Mancala games, all with rules that are very similar to each other, is called Oware.
Sometimes Oware refers to the games inside this subset while Mancala refers to the games outside of it.
GoldToken's game is without doubt inside the subset and can legitimately be called either Oware or Mancala.
