The Complete Mancala Games Book: How to Play the World’s Oldest Board Games
If you’re interested in games, mathematics, African culture, or a variety of these topics, The Complete Mancala Games Book: How to Play the World’s Oldest Board Games is a real find. And once you have the book, a bag of beans and an empty egg carton (plus a partner) are all that you need to begin playing.
Mancala is an ancient African stone game. While mancala boards can be found at many game shops, the simple rules that come with them don’t even come close to the strategy and variety that can be found in the game rules that come with this book. There are many different variations on mancala, and the strategies needed to play these different variations vary quite a bit.
