Mancala combines the games Wari, Kalah, and Endodoi, available separately on Zillions, into a single package with new variants. Each game can now be played on boards ranging in size from 2x4 to 2x8, with 3 to 6 beans in each starting hole, for a total of 20 variants per game, and 60 variants total. The games are interconnected through a common select screen. Each of these games represents a popular archetype of Mancala game. Wari is a single lap game with reverse-order capturing starting from the drop hole. In Kalah players can sow into their own stores and beans are captured in opposite enemy holes. Endodoi is a classic multi-lap game in which a single turn can involve an indefinite number of separate sowings. The specific rules for these games can be found in the "Game Description" section that comes with each game. Please send any comments or bug reports to dtroyka@justice.com.
