Mancala is an ancient game of Africa. The game is played on a board with 6 squares for each player. On each end of the board is the Kalahala or base. In each square is placed 3, 4, or 5 balls. The player takes their turn sowing the balls in clockwise order on the squares and their Kalahala. When a ball falls on their base or on an empty opponents square the ball is moved to the Kalahala. The game is over when one players squares are all empty. The player with the most balls in their Kalahala is the winner.

The game is a new addition to computer game types. The help does a good explanation of the game and the rules, however it lacks some of the operating areas of the game. There is no way to tell or select play areas. The player and opponent areas are the same color. The graphics might be better with color selections for the user.
