Description
HOW TO PLAY THE MANCALA FREE APP?
GAME SET-UP:
The board has two rows, six pits (round holes) each with a store (oblong hole) at each end. Four marbles are placed in each hole.
MANCALA GAMEPLAY:
Each player starts their turn by selecting a hole on their side. The player drops a marble, one-by-one, into each succeeding hole counter-clockwise around the board until the marbles run out. In Mancala, this is called "sowing."
CAPTURE: If you end on an empty pit in your row, the marbles in the opposite pit are captured. FREE TURNS: Place your LAST MARBLE in your store and get an extra turn!
AND THE WINNER IS...
When a player runs out of marbles, the game ends. The opponent gets to add all marbles on their side of the board to their store. This is where real strategy comes into play.
The player with the most marbles in their store wins!
MANCALA FREE STRATEGY TIPS
- Plan ahead, get free turns whenever possible. - Going first? Start with the hole that is FOUR PITS away from your store. Why? Because the last marble you place will end in your store and you get a BONUS turn!

It's fun to play! I and my family played this for 1 hour 😁😁 we laughed so hard and couldn't breath Haha haha
★★★★★
I love the game mandala, but my family members will never play with me, so with this app I don't need to ask- I can just play!
★★☆☆☆
Boring. It's the same thing over and over again if you're against a computer. I love mandala but this is so boring... And... The computer knows too much.
★★☆☆☆
Way too boring, not entertaining, not a good game, and please fix, and I will give 3 stars overall Good idea of making it to where you can play on your phone
★★☆☆☆
The game is fine, but when one when side goes out the opposing side gets all the stones on their side and not yet in their bank. I don't know anyone in real life who plays this way. Its counterintuitive as well because it encourages one side to hoarde. I'd give them 5 stars if this feature could be turned off.
★★☆☆☆
Incorrect rules. If my pit is empty and the opposite pit is, too, then I still put my piece in the mandala.
