Some bad moments
I feel ripped off. This game claims to be Mancala but fails to deliver. Although I have nothing against the visual aspect of this application, the rules for this game are absurd!
THIS IS NOT MANCALA. A simple google search for how to play mancala will reveil how the game is supposed to be played. Your supposed to deposit stones in your own bank when you go around, but this game does NOT. It also uses these confusing and rediculous capture rules of landing in a pile of 2-3 stones is a capture, as well as capturing stone piles behind it.
The instructions are a joke. The developers broken English is so hard to follow I cant even figure out what rules he IS going by!
All in all, DONT GET THIS!!!! Unless you play by these weird alien rules that I cant even find on the Internet, look at another choice for apps than this. There is currently a 99 cent version that uses the proper rules, so I have bought both and the cheaper one is true Mancala, I dont know what this is.
These are by far not the rules of mancala. What a rip off. Refund please.
