Mancala Board Games

Alexander J. de Voogt, British Museum Press, 1997

Description

The foundational modern study of the Mancala game family, surveying regional variants across Africa and beyond. De Voogt provides the classificatory framework — two-row, four-row, and multi-lap variants — that organises all subsequent scholarship on the game.
