Game of the century.
Sun Nov 15 2020 OneYoungHungOneI love moving M&M shaped marbles through a wood board with half drilled holes while trying to score a touchdown. It’s like call of duty meets football if Hulk Hogan was a professional bowling champion if the lanes were made of Ice for free skating in the dark. The best part about Mancala is that it brings back old memories of going to grandmas and getting yelled at for being hyper while throwing the marbles around the room. We definitely had fun those summers going to the lake and Mancala was always there. I definitely see myself playing with this instead of my organ. I have made a professional chance at Mancala only to be off a few marbles but this will help me train for the future.
Mancala
Tue Aug 15 2023 그래도 최애 게임입니다I love Mancala and I am glad that I can play it easily on an app like this. However, there are a few things that I wish were changed or updated.
First, the single player modes are too limited. The AI has a very predictable pattern, and there is only one level open to users who didn’t pay. If at least a few more levels become available, users may not only be more attracted to the game, but also be convinced that spending money on this game could be worth it. Right now, I am not interested in spending money on this app because I’m not sure if the payed-version-AI will be significantly different.
Second, there is no other method to gain diamonds other than spending real money. In most games, there are other methods to gain game money other than spending actual money, such as watching ads, completing tasks, etc., which are some things I was expecting to see. I am not good at Mancala so sometimes I just need to spend diamonds to get hints when solving puzzles, but after I spent them on 2-3 hints I was stuck at a certain level because I ran out. I’m new to this app so I don’t want to spend money on it already. I think that it is important for a game to keep the users engaged until they start to really get into it and consider spending money on it.
These are personal opinions so idk if a lot of people will agree on them, but I thought that it may be helpful if I write an honest review from a newbie’s pov. The game itself is well organized the gameplay is enjoyable!
Good for first time
Sun Nov 10 2019 KrystenreneI had never played this game before and I had this game as a kid but it was a wooden box that you open up and played right there on the board. It came with marbles and it did not have directions well we did not have internet when I was a kid so I never learned to play it. I have been playing it to the point I think I am addicted lol! Maybe not addicted but I am really enjoying it. I think that the directions could have been a little more detailed maybe a step by step and maybe have a tutorial that shows how to play in just a easier way to play the game. The reason I say that is that I suffered a TBI (traumatic brain injury) and it takes a bit more of detailed instructions to for me to learn how to play certain games. It took me playing for about an hour to finally understand the game. I would definitely recommend it to others and it is a good game for brain training in my opinion !!! -Krysten
Fun to play but.
Thu Oct 25 2018 ElectronicIndieLuvaFun to play but I feel it is unfair sometimes and the game cheats! This is not good leadership skill for children to see when they play this game at least make the age higher up like 18 and older! But I think you must teach kids at young age that life is unfair, and mancala is addicting I am actually addicted I remember playing it in the hospital with my sister but they lost all the marble pieces literally!! And we had to find random pieces to replace them with they kept falling out and stuff they were too big! and I do not think it was as fun but I make do. This game still had marbles pieces and I didn’t not have to replace them with stupid small plastic animals like giraffes and elephant and monkey so I give it a three stars review ok hope feelins are not hurt that is not my intention what so ever. This app is still better than others on the App Store like that mancala and friends so big props to that .
Great game!!
Fri May 13 2022 BeachyVibes :DI love love love this game and it all started when I was wondering how to play. I found this app, downloaded it, and immediately started playing it. This is still day one, but I’ve only got ONE concern: There are a LOT of in-app purchases. Overall, this might be my new favorite board game. Also, I think this game started off with Egyptians and precious stones. I’m amazed at how this has evolved. WOW. Thanks to everyone who helped make this super-awesome game! This is, like, necessary on any device. I also love that this purchase that is for the 2-players and a bunch of other things, it’s only $5.00, which is not that much, because it unlocks so much!! Thank you all again for making this game so wonderful.
Best game ever
Mon Mar 11 2024 Fsgcgfggffv*hfccggyxdvhgThere are over 1000 puzzles I don’t even know which one to choose. It was my first game in the Makala and they provided me step-by-step. It was awesome. I played it every day now now I’m a pro. It took a little bit of time to practice but I got it is easy if you focus. It’s the best ever I can’t stop take my eyes off my iPad play mine blowing how they teach you all those things and just one lesson well, there’s no lessons, but can you go to Street to game but it’s easy at first. But when you get good, it gets harder and challenges. I love it so much it makes my mind pop out of my head….
Good but not very fair
Tue Mar 30 2021 DanaLynn76I really enjoy this game. It is very relaxing and the puzzles can be challenging! The issue I have is the hint. I don't usually use the hint because that kind of takes away from the fun of the game. That being said, I've come across a couple of the puzzles that I just couldn't figure out so I used the hint. That's ok but even when I know how to get a puzzle started and I KNOW I am doing the moves in the right order the hint goes dark saying that I can't use it because I'm out of sequence. Basically you use the hint for every move of a puzzle or you can't use it at all. That's ridiculous! It's just a way to get me to buy more gems. I don't like to be manipulated like that and it's a cheap trick!

Different Styles
Mon Nov 28 2022 Nickmpnames pppppI love this game and I have it at home but there are so many different ways to play. Some things I love about this game is, there are no ads, the single player option is wonderful, and there is always a hint or an undo button to change what you did wrong. Somethings I don’t like are there are 2 different ways to play, when you pass up the other teams Mancala it puts one of your stones in it, but there is also where it doesn’t. This can sometimes confuse me when I’m playing a single player match against the app.
Besides that I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this game.

Fun but one glaring issue
Fri Oct 24 2025 SkrimpleI like this game, it’s simple and that simplicity is what makes it great. However, one major setback about this app is that when you finish a level it brings up this ‘ad’ popup, a little window showing their other games and the download button is conveniently directly overtop the next level button, popping up just fast enough that I’ve accidentally clicked download more times than I can count while trying to get to the next level. This is honestly pretty scummy so I hope they remove or at the very least move the popup, it’s otherwise greatly hindering a pretty good game.
