Product Description:

A simple and quick strategy game originating in Africa. Move your colored stones from hole to hole (dropping one in each hole) and into your store (point-bin). Gain more stones by dropping the last stone in one of your empty holes. Then scoop out all the stones opposite that hole and add them to your store. Players take turns until all the stones are gone from one side of the board. The wooden board folds in half for more compact storage, and two colors of glass stones are included. - Stephanie

I looked forward to purchasing this game for our family for a long time and I finally did! I played mancala when I was a child and had fond memories of its simple rules yet strategic and thoughtful play This product comes with an appealing wooden playing "board" with hinges for folding and storing The glass "gemstones" are comfortable to hold and produce a pleasing "clinking" sound when held and dropped together The scooping bowls sometimes seem too shallow but we laugh at how much we can pile around the bowls The one disappointment with this product is that I was looking forward to the variety of brightly colored stones pictured on the box front (5 different gemstone colors in blue red green purple yellow) What came were only two colors; half were blue and half were brownish yellow I felt the box front was misleading by showing so many gemstone colors Perhaps that wouldn't bother most people but I am a such a "sensory" person and love the sight sound and feel of this game Despite this we are having a great time with the game and I am pleased with the product!
