About Mancala
This is an ancient board game which dates back to the 6th century AD, and your target is to gather as many pieces of gems in your store as you can.
On the game board, 12 small pits are divided into 2 rows, and each of the pits contains 4 pieces of gems. The upper row of pits belongs to the computer, and the lower row is yours. The 2 large pits on the left and right of the board are the stores, with the one on the right belongs to you, and the one on the left belongs to the computer. You and the computer will take turns to move the gems, and each time you may click any of the pits on your row. When a pit is selected, the gems inside will be distributed one by one to the next pits in counterclockwise direction. If the last gem of a move lands on your store, then you can take one more turn by selecting another pit. If the last gem of a move lands on an empty pit on your side while the opposite pit contains gems, then you can capture all of the gems in both pits and put them to your store. The same rules apply to the moves made by the computer. When the pits on one of the rows are emptied, the game ends. The remaining gems on the pits belonging to you will be counted as yours, and those on the pits of the computer will be counted as the computer's.
Capture the gemstones with tactics and win prosperously!

It plays the right way. It is challenging mostly because it doesn't show you how may beads (jewels) are in the cups. You can touch their cups and see but you have to swipe on yours. I just started playing so I don't know everything about it. The computer seems smarter than most other apps. I prefer to play with real people online.

For the people who complained of cheating, learn how the game is played or keep your opinion to yourself. It could be easier to tell how many pieces there are and maybe different difficulty levels for those people who think being too good is cheating.

It's not that the game is hard, you just need a strategy. It's not cheating it's just how you play. I recommend for passing the time.

Is see a lot of people complain about the computer. I've found no issues. It's tough but you can beat it. Maybe people just don't know the rules. The ads on the other hand are really annoying and cover up the start button. Also the computer always goes second. Would be nice if whom ever goes first rotated. Oh, and it's a little difficult to see the number of gems in each pit.

If you dont mind having ended a game and mystery ads appearing or having invisible ads taking you to your browser or app store then this is the game for you. Please dont waste your time.

I downloaded this app more or less to defend it. This game is the exact version on a CHILDREN'S website called Hooda Math. Yes, it takes a few times to learn/understand the rules and yes, the computer is very good (maybe a little too good; the best I've done is a tie) but it doesn't cheat. You can do any or all of the moves it can. That said, I would like to recommend a few things. One, I wish there was a restart or menu button for those times when you know you've already lost. Two, the board is nicely designed, I think the gems could use an upgrade in their appearance. Lastly, with all the complaints about the "cheating computer" maybe having 2 or 3 levels of a.i. difficulty would be nice.

The computer kept getting more turns and continuously cheating. Does NOT make any sense whatsoever. One of THE WORST games I've ever played.
