About Mancala Classic Game
The game of Mancala is among those ancient games that last and last because the rules to play are simple, but the subtleties of winning take a long time to master. Many historians believe that Mancala is the oldest game in the world. The word Mancala means "to transfer" in Arabic. That is exactly what you do; you transfer, or move, playing pieces from one pit to another. There are hundreds of different variations to the basic game Mancala.
Mancala represents the diversity of Africa. Some version of Mancala is played in nearly every African country and it is enjoyed by royalty and commoners, adults and children, in cities and villages of every size. Mancala has lasted for many years because each past and present culture has been able to enjoy it in it's own special way: as an important family game, a ceremonial right of passage, or a form of recreation among friends. The type of Mancala board varies, the wealthy may play on carved ivory boards covered with gold, or it could be just a few holes in the ground with pebbles as playing pieces.
Our Mancala is played on a pine board with 14 pits: six small playing pits and one large score pit (on the players right), the kalaha, for each player. To start, each of the pits contains 4 beads. The picture shows the board with the pits and kalahas.
HOW TO PLAY
The board is placed between the two players.
The first player then chooses one of his pits and scoops up all the beads. The beads are then placed one at a time into successive pits, moving counter-clockwise around the board.
Beads placed in a kalaha are points for that player.
Players do not drop beads into their opponents' kalaha; they skip it and continue dropping beads until they run out of beads.
Players take turns until a player has no more beads.
At the end of the game, players count the beads in their kalaha and the player with the most beads wins.
