You forgot the rule that once you’ve removed all the stones from your side and trigger the end-state of the game, your opponent also gets to collapse all the stones on their side of the board into their mancala. It’s risky ending the game too early as depending on how many stones are on your opponent’s side, you could be giving them a lot of points. It’s often a good strategy to force your opponent to move and bring some of those stones to your side of the board before ending the game
You should do more videos on the other mancala variants, as there are a lot of really cool ones. To name a few of the better-known ones: There's oware, which also has different rulesets, but the one used for serious adult play is called abapa. There's Bao la kiswahili, which uses a bigger board and plays very differently from the mancala westerners are used to. And one of the most fascinating ones, in my opinion, is omweso, which also uses a bigger board but is often played extremely fast. All of these games really deserve more attention, and I think that many people will find them much more fun than the westernized mancala that most people are used to. But PLEASE do your due diligence and don't forget to mention all the rules, as Triple S often fails to do. These games deserve to be played how they were intended.
I loved mandala when I was a kid. I had a little animal one and would play with my aunt. Except we played in rounds. We would distribute what we have in our pockets best we could 4 per pocket. Any pockets unable to be filled would be death holes, or free for all holes. If you forget that the hole is not in play and you drop a piece in there, if not fast enough, your opponent can swipe it. That’s how we played.
Things that are different from how I play: -at game’s end (when one player’s side is empty), each players counts the stones in their mancala AS WELL AS their pockets. -when landing on an empty pocket on your side, you take the opponent’s stones from that sides pocket but DO NOT remove your own stone that landed in the empty. I may have to try these alterations as it will make the game (especially the end) very different. (Since any empty pocket that is landed in on your side will result in that stone being removed and thus leaving an empty pocket. Hmmm 🤔)
It has been a long time since I played, but I thought when I played emptied their side. The other sides pockets got moved to one of the montalas or the other. I don't remember which. has that changed in new versions of the rules?
Actually the stones inside the holes depends on how many holes in each side... As in this video there are 6 holes + 1 mancala... Therefore each holes must consist with 7 stones... Usually first start will take the first hole on the left and ends in the mancala...so the player can start once again...until the stone drop in an empty hole...every time you passed by your mancala on the right hand side...you must put in one stone inside your mancala... If the last stone drop in an empty hole on the opponent side...your game stop there...the opponent will continue the game... But if the last stone drop in an empty hole on your side and the opposite of that hole have a stone you can take all the stones and put it inside your mancala...its called 'bomb'..
My dad has a version of this called Oh-Wah-Ree. Never did play it with him. I guess he was always a-gonna win, wa ha ha! 😂 Actually learning the rules though, it's more interesting and strategic than I'd thought... And ancient people played this game?

That might be the updated part because in the old video they mentioned that. Maybe it makes it more competitive
I thought you already did this video.
Must be the Mancala Effect.
Nice joke no cap

Thank you for the video. I think this is my favorite version of the game so far.
The other versions I've played tend to get tedious midway through.

I love this game just because the stones are so pretty and fun to move around the board.
Maybe you should try using small candy pieces like jellybeans or M&M’s for this game

In Malaysia we call this congkak
In Indonesia we call it congklak. Very similar
If the c there is read as s, in Philippines we call it Sungka
@@joshyycute5823The letter “c” in Indonesian and Malay is pronounced like “ch” in “chair” /tʃ/
Now lets go log in club penguin
Where’s club penguin?
@@LoveKirbythecutepinkball in the hearts of all who were there
Pretty sure there's a fan version
Thank you very clear
Interesting! Thank you for explaining!
So whenever you land on an empty pocket on your side and you take the stones from the opposite side, is your turn over?
Literally called Sungka in the Philippines.
it’s called Congkak in Malaysia
I love mancala! Never knew it was pronounced like that
It's not. It's mahn-call-ah.
I never knew it was named mancala in english i only knew it in my national language
Sounds like you changed up the rules a little bit.
It has been a long time since I played, but I thought when I played emptied their side. The other sides pockets got moved to one of the montalas or the other. I don't remember which. has that changed in new versions of the rules?

me unable to figure out how to play this on Clubpenguin when i was little trying to look it up now to see if I understand now I'm older xd
Actually the stones inside the holes depends on how many holes in each side...

If the last stone drop in an empty hole on the opponent side...your game stop there...the opponent will continue the game...
But if the last stone drop in an empty hole on your side and the opposite of that hole have a stone you can take all the stones and put it inside your mancala...its called 'bomb'..
Here in the Philippines, we call it Sungka.
In indonesia it's called conglak

Eveyone has these but no one (me) knows how its used
Club Penguin
There’s no club penguin here
@@LoveKirbythecutepinkball I’m talking about mancala from club penguin.
You tell the rules wrong. When you take stones from the pocket , you should start delivering stones from the pocket from which you take the sones.
I HAVE THE POWER🤑🤑🤑🤑
The only reason I know this game exists is because of Club Penguin
Nicr
Turns out I’ve been playing this game very wrong
You forgot a rule…
I'm still confused 🤣
i hate these rules, i'll continue to play it wrong
