Details

Kalaha is an ancient African game. Countless variants have emerged over the years. These are grouped under the name "Mancala". Thousands of years ago it was just played in the sand. Pits, pebbles or seeds is all you needed. Later, game boards carved in stone were found in the pyramid of Cheops and in the temples of Luxor and Karnak. The aim of the game is always to capture more stones than the opponent. The game ends when a player has no more tiles, when he can no longer make a valid move, or when one of the players has captured a predetermined number of tiles. Age: from 9 years old
