Mancala
The classic board game for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV
Mancala is one of the world's oldest and best-loved board games, and it has never looked or sounded this good. This beautiful edition brings the ancient classic to life with gorgeous visuals and a delightful soundtrack. It's free to play against an AI, takes two minutes to learn, and has no ads to get in your way.
One purchase, every device: Mancala is free to download and free to play against the easy computer opponent. A single one-time purchase unlocks the full game: two-player games on one screen, plus the medium, hard, and expert AI opponents. Buy it once and it's yours on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV, with Family Sharing included. There are no ads and no subscriptions.
The idea couldn't be simpler: pick one of your pits, drop its marbles one by one around the board, and finish with more than your opponent. Land your last marble in just the right place and you'll earn a free move, or swoop in and capture a whole pile of theirs. It's easy to pick up, with plenty of sneaky strategy once you get going.
Here are just some of the features:
- Take on an easy computer opponent for free, for as long as you like.
- Unlock the full game to challenge a friend on the same screen, or to face three cunning AI opponents that plan ahead and set traps.
- Start with 3, 4, 5, or 6 marbles in each pit, and choose who goes first.
- Sitting across from each other? On iPhone and iPad you can turn Player Two's side of the board around so you each play from your own seat.
- New to the game? A hands-on tutorial teaches you the rules as you play.
- A warm wooden board, shining glass marbles, and a golden wheat field at sunset.
- Relaxing music and the satisfying clink of every marble, with haptics on iPhone.

- Game Center achievements to earn and leaderboards to climb.
- Works offline, so you can play anywhere.
