One of the most ancient of board games, Mancala has been played in Africa for thousands of years. The word Mancala means "to transfer" in Arabic. This game challenges players to move pieces from bin to bin. Many rule variations exist, and Mancala is played in some form in almost every African country. Who knew you could have fun, play a game and learn some history too?
