Product Description

A handmade mancala board made of solid natural teak wood, featuring a minimal design with a floral engraving at the center. It's built to work as an indoor or outdoor game and as a standalone display piece. Mancala is known by different regional names depending on tradition: Congkak in Malaysia, Brunei and Singapore, Kalah (or Kalaha) in the West, and Oware in West Africa – though each plays with a different number of holes; this board is a 5-hole version suited to quick, simplified mancala-style gameplay. Recommended for ages 8+

How to Play Mancala (A Quick Guide)

1. Set up the board
Place the board lengthwise between two players. Each player controls the 5 pits on their side and the large pit or Store on their right. Fill every small pit with seeds; leave the Stores empty.

2. Take turns
On your turn, pick up all seeds from one of your pits and drop them one by one counterclockwise – including your own Store, but skipping your opponent's Store.

3. Win the game
The game ends when one player's pits are empty. The other player collects all remaining seeds into their Store. Most seeds in your Store = you win.
