Product Description

Mancala - Unclear what country this game was made it. A beautiful and fancy strategy game of one of the oldest and most popular couple classic games in the world, Mancala has been played for thousands of years in Egypt, where boards have been found craved into the stone of the pyramid at the Temple of Luxor. The game has spread to Asia and Africa where it developed into many versions. European travelers were introduced to it in the nineteenth-century in Cairo. African slaves brought the game to West India and from there it spread as far as China

This review is from: Schylling Mancala "The African Stone Game" (Toy)

While mancala is a great game, deceptively simple but strategic, this version is almost unplayable. The cups are way too shallow. It's difficult to get your fingers in to pick up the beads, and the cups don't hold enough. It ruins the pleasure of the game. I wish I hadn't bought it.
