## What is Mankala?

Mankala is a calm, premium version of the classic Kalah board game.

- a short interactive tutorial on the board;
- four AI levels, from Easy to Expert;
- a clear tabletop view for two players;
- a carefully designed walnut board with natural stones;
- calm sound, subtle haptics and optional stone counters;
- automatic active-game saving;
- no ads, tracking, accounts, game currency or daily limits.
