Marfitalu: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mancala

Marfitalu: How would you play this game? I like it very much this way, my BKR of 1846 says that :).

Marfitalu: My question would be: How do you play this game? What are ''your rules''? (Since there is no ''THE rules'')

Marfitalu:
This is a known variation.
Here is one example   Its">http://www.aflcio.org/unionshop/games/game_mancala.cfm
Its also the basic rules for the home version I have.
There are many many many variations of this game but I think this is the easiest and was a good one to start with here. Fencer can always add the other variations later on.

Infidel: Is there an official name for this variation?

Fencer:

I dunno  LOL
My home game version says "Mancala" on the box and the instruction manual has 3 or 4 different variations of games on it but cant find the manual to give the names of the variations.
Sorry, no help 

ScarletRose:

The rules are not wrong, just a different variation of the mnay hundreds of ways to play the game.
Here is one example Click Here     Look at rule 7 where it says U can play both ways.
I can find other sites also, but just figured I would add my 2 ¢  that the rules here at BK are not wrong, just different.  

I play Mancala at home and the instructions that came with the game also have the same exact rules as that are implemented here at BK.


Rather than change the rules, lets just have different variations of the game.  There are many to choose from. (oware comes to mind)

Hedensk: I learned mancala by the rules that are used here, but I was playing with someone else once and they said my rules were wrong and it was the other way, as suggested by Scarletrose. We looked it up in the rules and I found out it was wrong. so I've played both ways, I usually just go with whatever my opponent is used to playing
