Mancala Online - Congklak

★★★★★ Easy to learn, fun, strategic and challenging!!! May play both online and offline. I absolutely love Mandala!

★★★★★ This is quite easily the best mandala app in terms of UI and design. The only thing that's keeping it from being perfect is the lack of implementation of the "pie rule". It is a known fact that 1st player wins with perfect play thus 2nd player is disadvantaged. The devs should consider adding the "pie rule" which adds the option of letting the 2nd player switch sides after the 1st player makes the first move. This makes the game more balanced. Hope you take this into consideration.

★★☆☆☆ The game makes you lose, even if you achieve a win condition. So say, I clear my side of the board, I should capture all the stones on opponent's area, which would win me the game. But nope, the opponent takes the stones instead of me and thus wins unfairly...

★★☆☆☆ UPDATE: I enjoyed the game's graphics and being able to play offline. The structure was similar to that of their other games (like Mills). I hadn't played for a while and came back to play today. The entire structure & design was completely changed! I don't like the way it looks now at all! The pieces are very cartoonish and smaller (hard to see!). I had given the app 5 stars a few months ago. Changed it to 1 & uninstalled until they bring the former structure & design back.

★★☆☆☆ Screw your game I'm sick of getting my money taken when im playing fare people are cheating by leaving. So if you're Losing to your opponent, and they leave the game they still get your money 😡 I feel that is cheating and should not be allowed. If you leave you don't get other players' money. 💯
