Mancala dates back to roughly 6000 BC in Africa, making it one of the oldest games in human history. Over 200 variations exist worldwide. The name comes from the Arabic word for 'to move.'
How to Play
The board has 12 small pits (6 per side) and a large store at each end. Each pit starts with 4 stones. Pick up all the stones from one of your pits and sow them counterclockwise, one per pit.
If your last stone lands in your store, you get another turn. If it lands in an empty pit on your side, you capture that stone plus all stones in the opposite pit.
The game ends when one side's pits are all empty. Remaining stones go to that player's store. Whoever has more stones in their store wins.
