Product Description
Enjoy your favorite fast moving game of skill and strategy with the Best Chess Set's Vicente solid Oak wood folding Mancala set. Mancala can be played by players of all ages. It is played throughout the world and has been especially popular all over Africa and the Middle East for Centuries. The game dates back thousands of years ago and is said to have originated in Ancient Egypt. Mancala can be played by two players or two teams. The playing board has two rows, each containing six recessed circular spaces, as well as one larger recessed oblong space (also called the “home”) at either end. The playing board is laid horizontally between the two players. Each player (or team) takes 24 game beads and places six of them in each of the six circular spaces on his or her side of the playing board. Each player's home space is the large recessed space on his right side of the playing board. The object of the game is to collect the greatest number of beads. The wood used to create this game comes from USA and is eco-friendly. Please make sure to measure out our board dimensions to see if they fit your needs before ordering. Best Chess Set is a California based company and this product is assembled in China in our own quality controlled factory.

This board is well made. It is solid wood with rounded square holes for the “seeds”. The glass “seeds” are a great size and you have plenty of room to store as many as you need to store to use strategies to win. I also love that it has a clasp to keep the game closed. No need to have a bag for the pieces they all stay inside.
Nothing but good to say. We ended up loving this game so much we wanted a second one (we have a large family). We went to the local department store to get another one so we could have it THAT day, and we ended up only playing it one time because the quality was so poor. We had higher expectations because of this product we bought on amazon. It was taken back to the store!!
Needless to say I’ll be purchasing another game board here and we will enjoy having family Mancala tournaments lol!
I did pretty extensive searching before choosing this set. It was a bit more expensive than some of the others, but it definitely DELIVERED on the bigger wells, and overall quality of the set. I brought it with me on a recent vacation, and we played it every day!
Just love it! It was only slightly higher cost than the other ones, but one of them I bought didn't even lay flat when I folded it open!
