Report an issuePlay the classic African board game against a challenging computer opponent, or another person! Features: - Selectable difficulty level - Human vs. iPhone or Human vs. Human - Select from 3 to 6 starting seeds per pit This version of Mancala uses standard Kalah rules: - Each player's pits are filled with a preset number of seeds - On any given turn, a player may sow seeds from any of their pits, proceeding counterclockwise around the board, skipping the opponent's store - If the last seed lands in the player's own store, the player gets a free turn - If the last seed lands in an empty pit on the player's side, and the opposite pit contains seeds, the player captures both the single seed, and all seeds in the corresponding pit on the opponent's side - When either player has no seeds in any of their pits, the other player's seeds move into their store, ending the game - At the end of the game, the player with the highest number of seeds in his or her store is the winner COMING SOON: - More advanced Mancala rule sets, including Oware

8 of 25Best mandala app ever! I love how it looks Best graphics and design
it aint whack actually is a pretty fun app
It cheats! I put my seed in an empty pit on my side and the computer didn't give me my seed or any others in the corresponding pit on the opposite side!
It's a pretty good game, but it would be much better if you could do it the way where you can get the stones in a well that you landed in. I know that's not very clear, but it's the best I can explain it.
This games challenging and fun at the most btw the computers easy if you know how to play
Get "Mancala SF5" it is so much better!
Great game! Just like the version of Mancala I learned from a friend -- without the possibility of spilling the seeds all over the inside of my car. One question: What happened to the old icon? I skipped the upgrade to 1.1.1 because my version works fine and the new icon is terrible. Bring back the one that actually looks like a mancala game!
Crashes and doesn't play ! I get an error message and it does nothing. There is other versions of this game.
