Mancala – A Turn-Based Strategy Game

Mancala is an ancient African board game. It is a 2-player game, where each player takes a turn to place one, two or three marbles in a hole. This is the same turn-based strategy that we all love.

Each player takes one turn and each move consists of 2 stages:

Dealing. Pick a hole, deal the marbles or seeds in the chosen hole. This stage is over once you reach the end of the board. The player who is left with no marbles is the winner.

Reflecting. After the player has played, he or she can look at the board and see the number of marbles or seeds remaining in his or her Mancala.

This turn-based strategy game is based on luck and not strategy, which means that it is not the most popular game in the world. However, it is the most played one in the world, and that is what matters.
