Mancala (kalaha, hus...)
One of the world’s oldest families of strategy games, mancala has been played for centuries across Africa, Asia and the Middle East - now seeing increasing popularity further afield! These classic 'sowing' games involve moving stones, seeds or beads between pits on a board, capturing pieces and planning ahead to outplay your opponent.
Many regional versions exist, including oware, wari, hus, and kalaha - all part of the same mancala tradition.
Our collection features wooden mancala boards in a variety of styles, including beech, bamboo and other natural woods. Choose from flat boards, folding travel sets, or larger double-row hus boards, perfect for exploring this timeless strategy game.
