Mancala

Mancala is one of the oldest games in the world, and it’s still being played today. Pits have been found carved into the roofs of ancient Egyptian tombs in Luxor and Thebes. The name means “to transfer” in Arabic. Small stones or seeds were used in its earlier days, but now marbles are more commonly used for the game.
