Mancala was a mini-game in Club Penguin. It was one of Club Penguin's oldest games. During Beta Testing it was playable in the Coffee Shop, however, soon after it was moved to the Book Room. Only 2 players could play it, and the objective of the game was to collect from the board more stones than the opponent, before one of the players clear his side of the board. It was based on the real life game Mancala.
Mancala was also a game which used to be available on the RocketSnail Games website, this being why it was on Club Penguin.
How to Play
A look at the Mancala Board
Players alternate turns. In his/her turn, each player had to select a group of stones from one hole on his/her side of the board. Each stone was dropped one by one in the holes around the board, including his Mancala, but not the opponent's Mancala.
How to Win
The game was over when a player had no more stones on his/her side of the board. The winner was the player with the greatest total number of stones in his/her mancala and any remaining stones on his/her side of the board.
Objective of the Game
Each player attempted to collect as many stones as possible before one of the players clears his/her side of the stones.
