Mancala

This game is quite addictive and easy to learn. It's been around a long time too. There are various free apps of the game.

Has anyone ever played it before?

That takes me back. I used to play that game with a neighbour's son when I was young. The family had spent time in East Africa.

My kids learnt at Dulwich Village Infants School, their teacher was from Africa - we bought a set at the Horniman I think?

It's not just a kid's game though. It requires thought similar to playing chess.

I think its very quick- my boys always beat me :(

It's a lot quicker than chess but it requires a lot of thought.

Bit like Connect 4
