A Mancala game is a game played with seeds, stones or sea-shells on a wooden board with a number of holes.
The distinctive features of these games are that they are:
- completely games of skill
- ranging in complexity from fairly easy to very difficult
- of many different types
- are non-European and therefore of interest to anthropologists
