    Mancala is a great game - and the boards are not that expensive. Get your own HERE - amzn.to/3ONCRQs

    There is a very similar game played in various parts of India and is called by different names with slight variations. Its called 'Pallankuzhi( pronounced as puhl-uhn-koo-yi) in the tamil language, which loosely translates to 'Pits and holes' describing the board. Very interesting to see similar games played across different cultures !

      Do Indians also use red beads from a tree? I'm from Sri Lanka and even the game named after that tree.

    2 or 3 times u landed on an empty spot, and u didn't take the opponent's rocks. Why?

      You only take the opponent's stones when the last stone you land goes to an empty cup on your own side. Not to non-last stones and not on the opposite side

    When one side clears towards the end, does the side that still has beads collect them and put them in their mancala?

    Question.. Do the moves have to be contiguos or can you hop to any other gaps (mini mancalas)?

    "my opponent gets a free move because he moved them in" around the 6:31 mark. I don't understand what happened there...please explain?

      He moved just one and it landed in the mancala. I think he made a mistake saying "them"
