Adji kui is the name of at least two Cuban mancala games from the area close to Matanzas, as found by Ruth Magalys Wilson Ferrer in early 1990s.
They were played only by a few families of Arará origin (not to be confused with the Brazilian Arara people), whose ancestry is related to the Fon, Ewe, Mina, Popo and other peoples from the Benin and Togo coastal area in Western Africa.
There are two different games referenced under this name. Their rules can be found on adji kui I and adji kui II.
