Originating from Africa, Mancala is believed to be the world’s oldest game — yet it is still wildly popular among adults and children alike. Kids as young as 6 can begin playing this counting and strategy game, and as they get older, there are many options to keep it challenging. This nice looking, yet inexpensive set features a solid wood folding board that fits into a metal sleeve (great for travel), and 48 colorful flattened gemstone playing pieces. Fun for the entire family!
