### 2/5 — NOT Mancala

*2026-06-17*

Perhaps this is an ancient version of what became mancala.  I don’t know; but it’s quite different from the game that usually goes by that name.

### 1/5 — La descripción no es cierta

*2016-12-10, version 1.009*

Entre otras cosas en la descripción pone diversos idiomas pero realmente solo tiene francés e inglés, muy mal engañar en la descripción

### 4/5 — Oui

*2015-06-22*

Toujours parmi les meilleurs

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nach Update nicht mehr

*2015-04-26, version 1.009*

Ärgerlich - nach dem letzten Update beendet sich die App beim Start sofort wieder....

### 1/5 — Too jittery

*2015-04-13*

Over fast jittery movement made it hard to follow the action. Also game did not seem to play properly eg when you land a seed in the house t should land in the house, not somewhere else. Waste of time.

### 4/5 — Great game

*2013-03-16*

Love the sounds, layout, design...makes me feel like I'm playing the real thing. For the next update, please disable sound so I can continue to play music in the background.

### 5/5 — St

*2012-06-13*

This is the best game ever!!!  You've gotta get cause it is AWESOME and great and I am the first to buy it so I would know because no one else has bought it!!!

### 5/5 — Awsome

*2010-10-20*

I just came back from Cape Verde where they play this game and they call it boril which stands for bank of oril and I love it. I have the real game too and it just the same as the App game is awesome Stress Free! as they say in Cape Verde.
