I bought this During Carabram which is a festival my city does every year where different cultures will take up different places around the city and hold showcases for there country or culture. so things like,
Food

Shows

Dances

Markets

etc
its a wonderful thing actual and one year me and the with were at the African privillian and we saw they were selling and playing this game called mancala. Being me and the wife have game nights and enjoy things like this we sat down while a gentleman selling them taught us how to play and it was Fun. if you like strategic games like checkers or chess then there's no reason you wouldn't enjoy this game. Its also great to play while enjoying your pipe.

My parents have a set. My mom bought it when we were kids and me and my sister used to play it a lot.

awesome i just think its a really cool game i spend a lot of time on the deck with this and my pipe was wondering if others have tried it as well. I also feel like i can concentrate better with a pipe not that i have trouble with concentrating but i just feel more relaxed.

Used to play all time as a kid. Maybe I'm thinking of something else, but aren't there different ways to play?

No problem radio I'm a big believer of family game night it's wonderful way to spend time with your wife and kids I'm glad you do that I hope to carry on the same tradition when me and my wife have our first child

My late wife had a Nigerian student who taught us the game, using an egg carton if

I remember correctly. Your set is dazzling, like it has its own light source. It's really

a subtle game. No one should take the simplicity of the set as an indication of the

complexity of the game. Family game night sounds like a great idea.
