Strategy with Seeds and Stones This game of strategy involves a board lined with pits or holes, and a collection of seeds, stones, or beans that are distributed in a loop pattern across these pits.

The Verve Culture Mancala Set features wooden beads or glass marbles and a mangowood board that folds on itself for easy storage.
