Mancala For Kids - Fun Strategy Game for Kids by Pressman

Mancala, with its origins tracing back to ancient Egypt, is thousands of years old. According to legend, workers would pass the time playing the game during breaks while constructing the pyramids. However, this game has proven to be just as enjoyable in modern times, gaining popularity as one of the world's most intriguing and clever two-player games.

The special kids edition of Mancala replaces gemstones with adorable plastic animals. To begin, all the animals are placed into the pockets of the board. When it's a player's turn, they choose a pocket and scoop up all the animals in it, then drop them back into the pockets one by one as they circle the board. With a few simple rules to follow, the objective is to collect the most animals by the end of the game. All the pieces can be stored inside the game unit, which conveniently folds up for easy storage. The set includes a high-quality wood hinged playing board, 48 colorful animal playing pieces, and complete instructions.

Although it is referred to as Mancala For Kids, the game is a surprisingly elegant version of the centuries-old pebble-snatching pursuit. The game's equipment is of high quality, with a clasped and hinged board made of solid hardwood. The classic rules remain intact, and two players still scoop out stones from one of their wells, dropping one in each subsequent pocket and trying to collect opposing pieces.

Despite being called Mancala For Kids, the game is a well-crafted and enjoyable version of the traditional game. With its colorful plastic animal playing pieces, high-quality wooden board, and easy-to-learn instructions, it is sure to be a favorite for kids of all ages. Plus, it reinforces important skills such as critical thinking, counting, and strategy. The wooden board also conveniently folds in half for easy storage, making it a practical choice for families.
