Pros and Cons

Pros4

Mancala is an easy game for almost anyone to learn. Even kids - helps them learn counting. It's still playable but it's a little frustrating because they could so easily have made the pits a little deeper. The only thing that could have been improved ...  Read More

It's fun and great to add to a collection of retro games. One of my favorites. Nice xmas gift. Great for gifting too.

The pieces are dovetailed nicely. If one wasn't careful they could definitely get a splinter playing with this set. The game is very soothing and relaxing.

The game board is made well, though there are a few rough spots within a number of the divots on the game board. The engraved details on the top and sides of the board are beautiful. Overall, a decent mancala board game with a few minor gripes.

Stones scatter everywhere. Individual spots are just too small and they start to overflow easily. It is very hard to even get the fingers in a slot to lift the stones out.

There's plenty of prompt cards and plenty of replay value. The topics are great and the pressure of the 5 seconds adds to the tension.

Game doesn't require a lot of instruction-reading or know how. It's really easy to play and sets up quickly. Set up is quick.

The game comes in a huge box, covered in weird stickers, extra useless cards, and includes an incredibly obnoxious “timer” that is basically unusable. The actual “cards” are thin paper with poorly printed lettering in a tiny box. The game has cards th...  Read More
