Similarly the pieces might be small stones, marbles, shells or seeds. The materials used are not important - the hollows might be scraped in the ground or in sand, they might be carved in a soapstone board or made from an old egg box. The playing pieces should be hard objects small enough so that 12 or 15 of them will comfortably fit in one hollow. The game of Oware is played on a surface consisting of two rows of six hollows. Instead, they are a full set of instructions for friendly play and include additional comments designed to assist with the understanding of the game. These rules are not intended to be a complete set of standard regulations encompassing all situations that might be encountered in play. The full game of Bao Kiswahili is one of the most complicated of all the Mancala games so for this reason, a beginners version called "Bao La Kujifunza" has been outlined. The fourth game is a version of Bao Kiswahili another very popular game played on a four-rank Mancala board, which is played in Zanzibar, Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia and eastern Zaire. We have two versions played on a 2 x 8 board in Kenya - Bao for children and beginners and a version of Bao from Kenya played with 32 pieces. The third game is simply called Bao (although Bao is a generic term referring to a number of Mancala games played in East Africa). Oware Nam Nam is a game played on the same board by children in and around Ghana although it is just as complicated and quite different to Oware. Oware (or variants of it) is the most commonly played Mancala game in international competition. The first game listed here is Oware which is played on a two-rank Mancala board and which is common to West Africa and the Caribbean. Throughout Africa, the West Indies, India and Arabia literally hundreds of variations exist. These are personal opinions so idk if a lot of people will agree on them, but I thought that it may be helpful if I write an honest review from a newbie’s pov.Probably more than any other game, variations of the board game Mancala are multitudinous. I think that it is important for a game to keep the users engaged until they start to really get into it and consider spending money on it. I’m new to this app so I don’t want to spend money on it already. I am not good at Mancala so sometimes I just need to spend diamonds to get hints when solving puzzles, but after I spent them on 2-3 hints I was stuck at a certain level because I ran out. In most games, there are other methods to gain game money other than spending actual money, such as watching ads, completing tasks, etc., which are some things I was expecting to see. Second, there is no other method to gain diamonds other than spending real money. Right now, I am not interested in spending money on this app because I’m not sure if the payed-version-AI will be significantly different. If at least a few more levels become available, users may not only be more attracted to the game, but also be convinced that spending money on this game could be worth it. The AI has a very predictable pattern, and there is only one level open to users who didn’t pay. However, there are a few things that I wish were changed or updated.įirst, the single player modes are too limited. I love Mancala and I am glad that I can play it easily on an app like this.
