Product Summary

The game of Mancala originated in Africa and migrated to the Middle East in the middle of the last millennia.  It is still played throughout those regions.

This game is a very good game for adults to play with children, as it teaches both logic and counting.  The complexity of the game makes for a very challenging adult to adult game.

Pricing

These games start at the very simple, and go up to very complex patterns on the edge of the game board.  Games are priced from $70 to $95 depending on the complexity of the decorations and glazes used.
