Mancala is one of the world's oldest and best-loved games, and this elegant set features a full-sized, solid wooden board with exquisite detail. Players take turns scooping up the special stones and counting them out one at a time into the pockets on the board. When they drop a stone into an empty pocket on their side of the board, they capture all the stones in the opposite pocket. It sounds like a simple marble game, but it's got plenty of strategy and reinforces STEM skills like counting and strategic planning. The player who collects the most stones wins. With high-quality components and a contemporary design, this Mancala set is a sophisticated accompaniment to your game collection. For 2 players, ages 6 and up.
