Ideal Classic Mancala is a Board Game with Folding Wooden Gameboard and Glass Game Pieces that provides hours of entertainment and is a great way for children to learn and teach strategy. Mancala is a game played around the world, sometimes called "sowing" games, or "count-and-capture" games, which describes the game play. Players begin by placing (4) stones in each of the pits on the game board. A player may count their stones to plot the game. A turn consists of removing all stones from a pit and placing one in each of the following pits in sequence. If the last stone is placed in a player's own Mancala, then he gets a second turn. Players may not touch the stones to count them and once a player has touched the stones, he must play them. Play ends when one player's (6) bins are empty. Ideal's Classic Mancala is designed for 2-players, measures 8.87-Inch by 1.5-Inch by 5.75-Inch and includes a folding wooden game board, (48) glass game pieces and instructions.

Made of wood with nice smooth clear stones
By Kelli and Ken Fisher
The quality of this product was ok. Made of wood with nice smooth clear stones. The hinges for the wooden case work, but they sometimes get stuck in one position and it is difficult to close. I purchased these to use with my students. I have found better quality for the same price.

Great Quality
By ERICA M
I wasn't expecting much when I ordered this product based on that good ol' saying, "you get what you pay for." Boy was I pleasantly surprised! The quality of this item is 10 times better than expected! It's going to make a great Christmas present.
