You would not think that a wooden board and some rocks would keep them entertained but it does. It does take a few times reading the directions over and over to get all the rules of this game. But my 5 and 7 yr old boys can play this game alone without any help. And is one of the few games they own that they play "by the rules".

I recommend this game but make sure you spend the time to understand the rules.

I have played Mancala before here and there, such as in coffee shops or at friends houses, but its been years. This is a fun and classic game somewhat akin to backgammon perhaps? It is rather easy to learn and the carved wooden game board and glass gems are good quality (though a potential choking hazard for little ones). This game can be played relatively quickly, not something that drags on for hours, but is fun to play over and over, trying the different versions.
