Mancala

Play the classic game of Mancala — the timeless seed-sowing strategy board game — on your phone or tablet. Deep enough for strategists, simple enough for a first game, and completely free.
Sow, capture, and outsmart your opponent in the timeless game of seeds — with ten levels of AI, pass-and-play multiplayer, and a board that looks the way you like it.
HOW IT WORKS
Mancala is one of the oldest strategy games in the world. Two players share a board of twelve small pits and two stores. On your turn, scoop up the seeds from one of your six pits and sow them one by one into each following pit — counter-clockwise — dropping seeds into your own store along the way and skipping your opponent's store. Simple to learn in a minute, hard to master for a lifetime.
TEN LEVELS OF AI
From a playful Beginner to a ruthless Grand Master, every level thinks deeper than the last:

Beginner — plays at random and rarely plans ahead. Perfect for your first game.
Novice — grabs easy captures and extra turns.
Apprentice — sees one move ahead and defends its store.
Amateur — sets up simple traps two moves deep.
Skilled — punishes careless sowing.
Strategist — chains extra turns and hunts big captures.
Expert — prunes the search tree and rarely blunders.
Master — controls the tempo across the whole board.
Champion — sharp alpha-beta search with clever move ordering.
Grand Master — the deepest search. No mercy, no mistakes.
Beat a level with a big enough margin and you earn up to three stars — can you collect them all?

TWO PLAYERS, ONE DEVICE
Pass-and-play mode turns any phone or tablet into a travel board for you and a friend. The board flips control automatically after each move, so both of you always see your own side of the pits.
MASTER THE THREE WAYS TO WIN

Extra turns: land your last seed in your own store and go again — chain extra turns to build a big lead.
Captures: drop your last seed into an empty pit on your side and you capture it plus everything in the pit directly opposite.
The final sweep: when one side runs out of seeds, the game ends and the other player sweeps every remaining seed into their store. Most seeds wins.
