Review of Appgefahren:

"Vor wenigen Tagen wurde Mancala (Download-Link) im Play Store zum kostenlosen Download veröffentlicht.

Doch was bedeutete Mancala eigentlich? Wikipedia klärt auf: “Mancala (von arabisch ?? naqalah ‚bewegen‘) ist der wissenschaftliche Oberbegriff für bestimmte Spiele, die, meist von zwei Personen, vor allem in Afrika und Asien gespielt werden. Charakteristisch ist, dass bei ihnen Spielstücke, die in Mulden liegen, umverteilt werden“.

Auch hier müssen die kleinen Spielsteine so umverteilt werden, dass der Gegner am Ende keine Steine mehr besitzt. Eine In-App-Anleitung erklärt das Spielprinzip gut, auch wenn nur in englischer Sprache. Entweder man spielt alleine gegen den Computer oder fordert einen Freund heraus. Dass im Anschluss eingebundene Video zeigt einige Ausschnitte aus dem Spiel."
