Comments on Mancala for Android

★★★★★ Ladie Buug · Mar 17, 2025

I love playing this Macala game. The game is entertaining, and you have to use strategy to beat your opponent. Once you develop your game plan, you will win often. I highly recommend this game.

★★★★★ Shea Croatt · Jan 27, 2025

Its mandala. Ads after each game but that's standard for any mobile game

★★★★★ Matt S. · Sep 1, 2025

The tutorial & difficulty settings are very helpful for beginners. The UI is ok, the game doesn't lag, and the ads aren't too intrusive. Well-made app overall

★★★★★ Ashley P · Jun 16, 2025

Can play online or with an in person opponent. You earn coins that you use to enter the game.

★☆☆☆☆ Kris Leigh · Jun 2, 2025

My first score was 29 and my opponents score was 22. It says they won, then again my score was 26 vs 22 and I won. The apps win condition makes no sense to real mandala.

★☆☆☆☆ Antonio Noel · Dec 10, 2025

The amount of ads is ridiculous. You can't even pause the game without an ad taking it over.

★☆☆☆☆ Brent Buchholz · Jan 20, 2025

Too many ads, didn't even get to play three moves in the first game before an ad interrupted the game play, horrible...
