While my book MANCALA GAMES (originally published in 1984) is between 
editions, I'm making available a paperbound photocopy.  The original book 
has 110 pages, and contains the rules for well over 100 different versions 
of mancala.

Mancala is the generic name given to a class of board games played 
throughout the world (but mainly on the African continent). The games are 
generally played on wooden boards which have two, three, or four rows of 
holes carved into them.  Each game begins with counters arranged in the 
holes according to the rules of the game being played.  Rules for moves, 
captures, and winning also vary from game to game.
