I've seen kids playing this mancala game in the streets when I visited Africa with my family. They made holes in the ground and used stones for pieces. I didn't quite get it, but now I'm going to learn!!
This mancala game is a bit weird, but when you get the hang of it you can see why its so popular and although it doesn't look much when you properly understand how to play it, its quite addictive.
