EQUIPMENT:  

“Mancala” Game Board, 48 “stones”

  Collect as many stones in your Mancala as possible. 

 

SET UP:

  Place on playing surface and place 4 stones in each of the bins 

numbered 1 through 12. 
 

PLAY:  

Player A’s bins are those numbered 1-6.  Player B’s bins are those 

numbered 7-12.  Decide which player will play first by the flip of a coin.  The 
first player then picks up all of the stones in one of the bins on their side of 
the board.  (For example, Player “A would pick up the stones in any of the 
bins numbered 1 through 6.) The player then proceeds by placing one stone 
at a time in each of the bins counterclockwise around the board.  If the last 
stone is placed in your Mancala then you play another turn.  You never place a 
stone in your opponent’s Mancala, you skip it, placing the remaining stone(s) 
in the following bin(s).
