I love this game
I love playing this game with friends or just online. It’s so fun for anyone who’s bored
Literally doesn’t know the rules of this basic game
When I play a large hole and it wraps round to the opponents cache, it drops a seed in there. According to the rules I know, you never drop a seed in the opposing cache…
I love mancala
Works well enough. Very easy to win though. I would rather play a friend than a computer, of course. That said, I have played against a cat with greater difficulty than this app. I would like to struggle to win a round.
Avalanche Mode Makes It Overall Fun But Flawed
Doesn’t allow for random amount of marbles in each hole to start each game which makes games repetitive against AI. Even after purchasing upgrade it’s still not an option. Otherwise would be a 5 ⭐️
Good but…where is the tutorial
I remember the rules of Mancala vaguely from a previous app so if you are an experienced player and just want a basic game, then this is for you. However, if you are wanting to learn how to play Mancala, this is not the app for you. there’s no tutorial only hints. , there are other puzzle games that you can play besides Mancala on the app which is neat.
Simply Great
Wonderful game to spend to reset brain with. Love it!!
Waste of money
Purchased this game so I could get options of difficulty. 1. The bot patterns are predictable on the hardest level. 2. The “hint” button is greyed out and I can’t use it! I love using hints on some games to better my skills and learn what to do in that play. Waste of money. I want a refund.
Absolute amazing game
I love this game it was so fun to play I never got bored of it!
Fine well it’s ok
I wish there is a way to play two player on the app but I’m really good at Mancala it makes me relaxed/calm but the rest of it is fine the thing i like about it is that there is extra little games every thing is fun
It’s nice
It’s ok but it got boring… the computer only makes one move to start for me and idky. I tried different started and even copying but it gave me the same thing. It’s not a horrible game and it’s nice for learning the rules but I’m pretty sure if you’re seeking a challenge you’d have to pay for it. I appreciate the hustle but still.
Great game!
Simple to play, and no obnoxious ads.
Really fun
Really fun but can’t play with people u know but still fun
Free is great
I’m just playing the free game at the moment while I try to develop tactical awareness, but I’m sure I’ll be buying the full version soon.
Kural hataları var
Oyun kurallarına göre oynanmıyor. Çift yapma kuralı yok, kuyuya taş bırakmıyor. Bu mangala değil
Simple play
There’s not a lot of thought in this version of the game. You have to challenge yourself. The computer doesn’t really get harder.
Fun !
Give it a try
What are the rules?
I have no idea what’s going on or where to find how to play.
Ancient game well represented
Great to learn, AI on free version is not challenging at all. Game play is fast so you get the practice
The sound does not work???????
I love a good old game of Mancala and wanting to play with some friends. Why is the sound not working?!?!?!?!? I don’t feel indulged to play the game without any sounds. Please fix.
Decent
Probably most polished Mancala app. No online features, and free difficulties aren’t hard enough
Therapeutic
A nice calm game to play whilst passing time. I’m not a huge game player but the colours, minimal sounds and ease of this game is really quite pleasant. I don’t know if these are the actual rules of Mancala but I feel like I’m a pro now. I hope they are the rules so I can play in person next time I see a board! 😍
What Rubbish!
I installed Mancala on iPad but it wouldn’t let me play! Just kept bringing up another childish game called Stone Chain! I couldn’t get into Mancala at all… I’ve now uninstalled! Absolute rubbish!
Mancala
I don’t understand it, but it’s fun
Dumb AI
The AI is way too easy to beat, no fun but I have a second star because the puzzles are okay. Give a free option for harder AI!!!
I can’t lose!
I’m trying to lose but the game is set so easy you can’t lose unless you pay for harder levels. Shame.
HELP! Peg solitaire
The game is so good, but I can't solve the Puzzle 468
This game is great
It’s great I love it. It’s very gay
I can’t win
Give me my stupid win, stupid. Good luck Charlie 🫡🎥
What are the rules of play?
I’m trying to play this game, but all kinds of things happen whilst I’m playing. I get a free play: why? I run out of moves: how many moves do I get? Occasionally, I get a “capture”: what is this? What is the object of the game? I’ve been recommended this game, but it just annoys me at the moment. It would be so much easier if I could see the rules.
Disappointing
I used to play this game a lot and loved the different levels. Ive just rediscovered the app again, but find now to play harder levels you have to pay. Very disappointing.
10/10
Love it
Me Mancala bla gross
It’s a really boring game and there is no point to it at all
Good game
Nice game, no difficulty.
No clear rules
It’s a nice app, works perfectly; but when you click on the ‘rules’ button it takes to Wikipedia page for Mancala. The page covers the history of the game and lists different possible variants. So I don’t know exactly which rules the app uses. It wouldn’t have taken them long to write down the rules and include them in the app; but they didn’t bother to do that.
Seed count
Where did the numbers indicating the number of seeds in a space go? It’s hard to count them.
Amazing game
This was so much fun and got the monkey with symbols in my head thinking. Such a fun game
It’s confusing
There’s no rules on how to play so you’re left to work it out on your own. Didn’t enjoy it.
Slow learner
I think this is a good game but I found the instructions unclear and that made learning a bit tricky
Mancala is a great game - this is okay.
I love mancala. It’s brilliant. Wanted a more portable version after getting addicted on my Switch via 51 all time classics. This is a solid game, but as soon as I paid for the full version every completed game rewards me with an advert for another game. Didn’t happen for those first games to fool me. Just soulless. Just another reminder why iOS outside of Apple Arcade is just a nickel and dime depression.
What are the rules
The rules section points to a Wikipedia generic page. There is no explanation of capture, for example...
Mancala
The Mancala game is good and I’m the best♎️
No rules or how to play
Looked for rules sent to internet Wikipedia
Good graphics
Works simply which is all that is needed
Dldlelldkkgmg
Kuyunu dağıtırken dağıttığın kuyuya da koymak gerek ama koymuyor . Eğer sıra sende ise karşındakinin kuyusuna en son koyduğun taşlar eğer çift ise o taşların hepsi alırsın ama burada böyle olmuyor onu lütfen düzeltin
Arrows
Love the game but I don’t like the arrows flashing at each move.
Great game!
Mancala is an very enjoyable and good workout for your brain. Even better is the fact that you aren’t bombarded with ads. I am delighted to have found this game to download, careful though, you will lose track of time.
No multiplayer
You can only play against a computer. So lame.
GAD332
Love this game but cannot understand the rules of the game needs simplified
Need to pay for multiplayer
Unless you plan on only playing by yourself, find another mancala app.
Good I am not paying money!
The game is good but there should be a choice of different levels and there should also be a 2 player mode.
