This beautiful wooden game set includes Mancala, one of the most ancient and widely played games in the world and, on the reverse side of the board, the modern straight ahead gammon game of Uthini? with its 19 traditional symbols from Africa. The frame is carved with detailed African animals that form a link between an Egyptian scene on one end and Cape Town, South Africa on the other. The carved base is molded from recycled plastic and can also be used as a small storage container for the colorful glass marbles and dice.
