There are many different variations of Mankala, but the basic rules are usually the same. I will give you a brief explanation of how to play Mankala. You need a game board with two rows of six holes and two large holes at the ends. These are the Mankalas where you have to collect your stones. You also need 48 stones, which you distribute evenly over the 12 small holes. Each player has six holes on his side of the board. The goal of the game is to get more stones into your Mankala than your opponent. To start, you choose a random starting player. This player takes all the stones from one of his holes and distributes them one by one to the next holes, clockwise or counterclockwise. This is called sowing. If you end up in your own Mankala with your last stone, you may sow again. If you end up in an empty hole on your side, you may take all the stones from the opposite hole of your opponent and put them into your Mankala. This is called stealing. The game continues until one of the players has no more stones on his side of the board. Then the other player may put all the remaining stones in his holes in his Mankala. The player with the most stones in his Mankala wins the game. This is a simple version of Mankala, but there are also other variations Environmental information about Mankala - Bean game - Bamboo The gameboard is made of bamboo: the fastest growing material on earth!
