Community Insight:
Compared to other mancala games in the App Store, this one is the best in our opinion. You have options to play with a friend, online, or to practice against a robot with different levels. One thing this app lacks that we wish it had is avalanche mode. All in all we love the game.
Game has started to freeze a lot more often & glitch. This results in you being unable to make a move during your turn. Additionally, the timers been counting down for us, when the screen shows its our opponents turn.
This is the best mancala mobile game we have found in a long time, however we REALLY want something with avalanche mode. We would play this so much if you added it!!! also so many adds.
Ive had several times where other players seemed to be able to manipulate mechanics like game timers and force a loss, even if youve already won the game. The app has some security holes, and is potentially a vector for malware.
It is a very interesting game that helps you r brain grow in a fun way and it is very fun to play against your friends. We think this is a very good game. Go check it out in the App Store.
We can beat our bestie at Mancala heheheh.
A great online rendition of the classic mancala. Im stomping on ppl left and right its great fun.
The games is fun to play and you play with people from around the world but its an ad after every game and that gets annoying.
This game is really cool and has a lot of people to play with, but unfortunately it keeps making us log in every single time we open the app. Says to ensure a stable internet connection but we do have one. PLEASE fix this. Thank you.
Hardly ever anyone online to play against.
Mancala is usually played not counting the stones on the board at the end.
