Finally a mancala game for more than two players! Beautifully designed to offer the same challenging style of play as regular mancala while accomodating 2 to 4 players. The mancala board folds in half for easy storage and travel with the glass "stones" inside.
The Worldwise Imports Folding 4-Player Mancala Set adds a whole new level of intensity to this classic game of strategy! The Solid wood game board includes patented rules for 2, 3, or 4 person play. When the game is over, the board latches shut for convenient travel and storage. Includes marbles and die for game play.

Board is great, everything else so so December 30, 2009

Durability: Educational: Fun:
I've only played this game a handful of times, but remember how much fun I'd had. I got this one so the whole family could play. While the wood board is great, I don't like the glass playing pieces. For starters, they always feel just a little sticky, like they need to be washed. And upon arrival, several of the pieces were broken. I'll probably be buying more durable pieces soon to replace the ones sent. Because I'd only played a few times and years ago at that, I didn't know how to play. Well, the instructions were worthless. I tried to play a game with my kids and follow the instructions, but they don't explain how a turn ends or continues, what a capture is (there's no mention of capture at all) or how to end the game or how a person wins. I had to go online to find simple instructions so I could play. They playing pieces and instructions should be of better quality to match the board.

From the Board Games Editor at BellaOnline.com January 9, 2006
By Megan Romer
Durability: Educational: Fun:
Mancala is one of the most popular board games in the world, and one of the oldest; game boards have been found in Egypt dating back to 1400 B.C. It's a relatively simple game that only requires counting, and it's very fun, for both kids and adults.Most Americans who are familiar with the game are only familiar with the two-player version, but throughout the world, people play mancala with three, four or even more people. Why not try it for yourself with this board?The board itself is nicely crafted out of wood, and folds for super-easy storage. Give it a try! You'll be glad you did.

Before this I had never played Mancala with four players or even knew that it was possible. My 6 year old son loves playing it and plays it all the time at school. Read more

Great strategy game, especially for young children
Our family loves this game. We play several times a week. The only thing that could make it better is if the manufacturers would include polished stones instead of the glass... Read more
