It is Mancala game. First, choose a hole to pick up with stones. Deposits one of the stones in each hole until the stones run out. If you run run into your own stone, deposit one piece in it. If the last piece you drop is in your own store, you get a free turn. If the last pice you drop is in an empty hole on your side, you capture that piece and any pieces in the hole directly opposite. The game ends when all six spaces on one side of the MANCALA board are empty. Count all the pieces in each stone. The winner is the player with the most pieces.

Verdict

Mancala game's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 16) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
