Mancala, or Mancala Bao, is a super cool board game that first came from Africa. It's a clever and hilarious way to have some fun, and the best part is, it won't cost you a dime! The game board has two rows, with each player having six cups (or holes) and one huge cup called the mancala zone. When the game starts, each player puts four stones in every cup. Then they keep moving the stones in a counterclockwise direction. The game only ends when all six cups on one side are empty. Whoever has more captured pieces in their mancala zone wins!

In the game, you get to pick from four levels of difficulty: easy, medium, hard, or expert. So whether you're a newbie who likes to keep it simple with easy mancala, or a pro who craves a challenge with hard mancala, our game has got you covered! When you start off, only the easy level is available. But don't worry, as you win games and prove your skills, you'll unlock the other levels. So keep practicing and conquer all four difficulty levels! Oh, and here's a cool feature: you can touch and hold the stones on yours or your opponent's side to see how they'll move. And to make things even better, we've highlighted the cups that will lead to the best moves. Easy peasy!

If players mess up, no worries! They can totally take back their moves and experiment with different strategies. Plus, there's this awesome 'share' button that makes it super easy to send the game to a buddy. It's like the ultimate board game for kids, and you can even pick your language and decide if you want sound effects or music. Get Mancala for free and play offline whenever you want!
