Mangala is a Turkish intellectual and
strategy board game that is usually played by two persons or in groups.
Believed to one of the oldest known two player games.
With a history of five centuries in Turkic regions,
“Mangala” (or mancala) is still popular in small Turkish towns. The
board game is played with 48 stones and two people – or in groups. On a game
board, there are six identical pits arranged in two rows, which together make
up 12 pits and there are big storage wells – storages, in which players will
collect stones. The person with the
largest number of stones in their storage well at the end of the game is
declared the winner.
