Product Description
Folding 2 to 4 Player Mancala Game
Beautiful wood board with bright colored glass stones. Measures 16 x 16 x 3/4" when open.
The object is to accumulate the most pieces through a series of moves. Two to four players sit facing each other with the board between them. The board consists of four rows of 6 small pits with a large pit at each inside corner. The large pit is called a reservoir or scoring pit. The small pits hold the pieces to be played and the reservoirs hold the scored pieces.
There are many different variations of Mancala games played worldwide. The rules for Four Player Mancala closely resemble those for regular Mancala with a few exceptions. This game is very easy to learn and will provide endless hours of entertainment for everyone. Various rules are noted within these instructions to provide challenging and entertaining forms of play.

Mancala is one of the most popular board games in the world, and one of the oldest; game boards have been found in Egypt dating back to 1400 B.C. It's a relatively simple game that only requires counting, and it's very fun, for both kids and adults.
Most Americans who are familiar with the game are only familiar with the two-player version, but throughout the world, people play mancala with three, four or even more people. Why not try it for yourself with this board?
The board itself is nicely crafted out of wood, and folds for super-easy storage. Give it a try! You'll be glad you did.

Excellent game for family fun! We have played 2 man mancala for several years, but now the whole family can play together. Enhances critical thinking skills and strategic thinking for our children. Highly recommended!

Most Mancala games are for 2 players. Hard to find one for 4. This is a gift and I was pleased to see how attractive and well made it is.
Great strategy game, especially for young children December 23, 2008

Our family loves this game. We play several times a week. The only thing that could make it better is if the manufacturers would include polished stones instead of the glass pieces. We also have a two player game that included the stones and there is something really wonderful about using these as opposed to the glass pieces. You could even use beans or little stones the children find at the beach or swimming hole.
As I mentioned in my title, even very young children can pick up strategies and win at this game.
Quality Mancala Set! December 28, 2009

This is not your average cheap craftmanship wood Mancala set. The entire outside and insides are smooth and very well sanded. It is really a beautiful wood that is used. Not sure what kind it is but maybe a maple. The glass marble like pieces have a lubricant or something on them initially but we ran them under the hot water in a collander with dish soap and it came right off. Our set came with a few extra prices too, that was nice.
We have had two person sets before and this is by far the nicest we have owned.
