Surprised that the Wikipedia page doesn't mention how Club Penguin (Flash social meetup game for young kids and teens) re-popularised mancala in the Western world. It was a big deal, not sure if the HN crowd's young enough to remember.
- tgb 6y agoClub Penguin released in 2005 and I recall playing Mancala games at least as early as 2000 on PC. Are you sure Club Penguin was actually a cause?
- seiferteric 6y agoIn the mid 90s I got a Mancala board, it seemed pretty popular even then.
