Oh, and then beat them at Mancala : Thanks to ducklemon for the joke! Reply 1 year ago. This says you place the stones clockwise. Instructables say counter- clockwise. Which is correct? Thank you. Question 2 years ago on Step 5. A question! Say I have landed with my last stone in an empty pit on my side. I understand I get to take all the stones of my opposition directly across. I get to put those stones in my mancala. Now do I also place my stone into my mancala at this point or does it stay where it was placed?
And second question. Is my play over or do I get to go again? Answer 1 year ago. Question 2 years ago on Step 4. Tip 3 years ago. These instructions are for the popular North American version called Kalah.
Mancala is really a family of games which includes Kalah along with many other variations. Also there are 4 stones for each hole including the end ones plus two more,are they spares?
I am not sure if its a different version,I think it was bought in Africa as a souvenir. Hope I am not too confusing. S your instructable was very good. Reply 3 years ago. I've heard there are a lot of variations to playing mancala. If you want to play it the way mentioned above, you'll need to set it up as if you had the same board with the same layout, that is, you'll just need to remove the extra stones, play as if there are only 6 holes in the center, and make the end holes are connected play as if column 1 holes 'connected' as one mancala, and as if column 8 holes are connected as the other mancala.
Question 3 years ago on Step 2. Say i have like 15 stones in one hole. When I make the full rotation back to the hole that originally had the 15 stones, do I skip that hole or place one in there? Answer 3 years ago. Normally, and the way I've always played, is that you don't have to skip the original hole that you played stones from.
I prefer this method as it makes things less confusing, and I don't see any good reason to skip the original hole other than it slightly changes the strategy.
But I've heard there is a variation where that is an official rule. So, it's up to you if you want to include that rule or not. Just added to your cart. View Cart 0. Continue Shopping.

In most cases, boxed games and box sets do not come with dice. The cardboard backing of miniature packs is not graded. If excessively worn, they will be marked as "card worn. Mancala comes in many variants with different forms of it played across Africa. The idea behind the game is for the players to sow and capture seeds.
The game move is inspired by the process of sowing, where seeds are dropped one by one into subsequent holes. In a game where there are four rows involved, the objective changes—to leave the opponent with no legal moves available. Another goal is to capture all holes in the front row. In one variation, capturing requires that the last seed is dropped in a hole across a hole with a set number or specific configuration of stones.
Another is when a seed lands in an empty hole, all the seeds in the hole directly opposite are captured. Place four pieces of stones, seeds, and the like in each of the 12 holes of the board. Each player has a Mancala or store to the right side of the board. In some cases, it is located at either end of the board. The board should be placed between the players. One side of the board would belong to the person across it.
