Mancala, which originated in East Africa, has been played for thousands of years. The aim of the game is to capture pieces in the opponent’s cups, and it only ends once all the cups of one player are empty when it’s their turn to play. This vintage board from the Ivory Coast bears the indents of the seeds and stones used by generations of players. Its characterful carvings are considered by the Baule tribe to give objects a spiritual charge.
Please note, this item is a truly original vintage piece with slight imperfections and distinctive characteristics that add to its charm and celebrate its unique history.
