Thanks for checking it out. Yeah, mancala is a genre of games. This is actually kalah, but most americans know this version as "mancala." If the site catches on I plan on adding Oware...which is my guess of the version that you are used to?

- jcw 17y agoKalah is a simple and somewhat broken game (the first player is heavily favored). I would very much like to see Oware or Bao supported, these are much deeper mancala games. I haven't seen many implementations of Oware (outside of GNU Aware). The flash/java implementations of Bao also leave a little to be desired: http://www.baogame.com/ http://www.baogame.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bao_(mancala_game) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bao_(mancala_game)
- jacktasia 17y agoTrue story on Kalah being broken. This is the main reason why I added in the ability for users to be 2nd player. I will start to work on Oware sometime soon now that it seems like there is at real interest in it. Thanks.
