Mancala is a mini-game played in the Book Room, and is also Captain Rockhopper's favorite game to play while he is docked in Club Penguin. Also, see Mancala for more information on the game played in real life. Many penguins find Mancala difficult, as without first reading the rules displayed on the wall, it can be hard to understand.

How to Play

A look at the Mancala Board.

Players alternate turns. In his or her turn, each player selects a group of stones from one hole on his or her side of the board. Each stone is dropped one by one in the holes around the board, including his Mancala, but not the opponent's Mancala. It used to be placed in the coffee shop. However on August 23, 2005, it was moved into the Book Room.

How to Win

This game is over when a player has no more stones on his or her side of the board. The winner is the player with the greatest total number of stones in his or her mancala and any remaining stones on his or her side of the board.
