Renowned for its exceptional durability, rich golden-brown hues, and intricate grain patterns, Indonesian teak wood is one of the finest hardwoods in the world. Naturally resistant to moisture and pests, its quality is globally recognized by craftsmen in furniture-making and various artisanal crafts.
Teak wood elevates the mancala board game from a simple pastime to a timeless heirloom. Its smooth texture ensures a satisfying gameplay experience, while its natural strength guarantees longevity. Each board, hand-carved by skilled artisans, showcases the wood’s unique grain, making every piece a one-of-a-kind treasure.
Mancala is one of the world’s oldest strategy games, played for centuries across cultures. Simple yet deeply tactical, it challenges players to outthink their opponent by moving stones, beans, or seeds across the board. With every turn, you sharpen your logic, strategy, and counting skills. More than just a game, mancala is a blend of history, culture, and timeless fun.
How to Play Mancala
Setting Up
Place the board lengthwise between two players. Each player controls the five pits closest to them and their Store (the large pit on their right).
Gameplay
- Each player's score is the number of seeds in their Store.
- Fill all small pits with seeds, except the Stores.
- On your turn, pick up all seeds from one of your pits and drop them one by one counterclockwise, including your Store but skipping your opponent’s Store.
Winning the Game
The game ends when one player’s pits are empty. The opponent collects any remaining seeds in their pits and adds them to their Store. The player with the most seeds in their Store wins!
