Mancala at game night

Players

Two players, one-on-one.

Teach me, Casual or Serious. You'll sit with people at a similar level.

Where you'd play

In public: a coffee shop, a board-game café, a library or a park. Your table votes on where.

One-on-one

Paired with one other member who wants to play.

How a Mancala table comes together

  1. Tick Mancala in the app

    Choose Teach me, Casual or Serious.

  2. Sign up for game night

    Choose game night on your area's weekly group night. Sign-ups close two days before.

  3. Get your table

    You're paired with one other member who wants to play. Everyone at it fits everyone else as a friend match, and plays at a similar level.

  4. Pick the place and play

    Your table votes on where to play, and the app plans the rest. No chat.

Questions

Is it one-on-one?

Yes. Mancala is for two, so you're paired with one other member who wants to play, in a public place. The pairing passes the same checks as a friend match.

I've never played Mancala. Can I join?

Yes. Choose Teach me and you'll sit with people who already know it and are happy to show you.

Is it free?

Yes. Joining and game nights are free. The only charge is ID verification, $4.99, before your first meeting. A venue may charge for a table, a drink or the game library.
