As previously featured by Apple in "New and Noteworthy" and "Staff Favorites"

In Russia they call it Kalah, in Nigeria it's called Oko, in Malaysia it's called Congkak, but most of the world knows it as Mancala: the strategy board game that many believe to be the oldest game in the world. If you've never played it before, Mancala will take you just minutes to learn, but it will take a lifetime to master as you need to exercise good judgement, patience and lateral thinking with every move.

Mancala HD is the most polished Mancala game on the App Store, featuring:

- Stunning high-definition graphics that bring the game to life before you, including Retina and Retina HD graphics.
- Beautiful soundtrack that blends ethnic music with a modern feel, plus original sound effects.
- Built-in video teaching first-timers how to play.
- Play against a friend, or try the computer player with three difficulty settings.
- Set your own options to make your favourite game.
- It's a universal app - buy it once, and play on iPad, iPhone and Apple TV!

Please get in touch on Twitter @twostraws to let us know what you think - we'd love to make Mancala HD even better with your suggestions!

"Very few people seem to know how to play this game, so I am grateful for the iPad app. The colors are nice, the graphics are very clear. Love the music and the sounds. This is honestly one of the best purchases I have ever made. This is a game I will play over and over. Hats off to the developer!" - Lostingames

"Finally - We discovered mancala while travelling and IMHO this is the perfect game for iPad. Simple but deep, the game itself is ace and this version's AI is perfectly pitched at medium - demanding but not deep blue. two player just works. I'd recommend this to mancala fans or newbies." - Grifter101
