Battle of wits: Antiguans revel in ancient board game
BBC News By Gemma Handy image copyrightGemma Handy image captionWarri is a board game popular in Antigua, and groups get together to play across the island Under the shade of a wooden hut, a stone's throw from the flurry and fumes of the Antiguan capital's main bus station, a battle of wits is afoot. Two men are bent over a handcrafted mahogany board, deep in concentration in the throes of a game of "Warri". As the tension rises, so too does the banter from the engrossed bystanders. One player makes a rash move, and both his opponent and the crowd jeer in response.
