This game is amazing, but expect a brain overload the first few times you play. The mancala system is a unique and challenging way of determining which actions you'll do. That alone is a game in itself, but then trying to bring together all these choices into a coherent strategy was too much to try and process. I felt like towards the end I was starting to understand more how everything fits together, but the mancala was a constant challenge. Of course, you can always do what one player did and attempt to get all your pieces on the same action...twice.

Building a successful strategy, Ha!

This game has so much depth that I feel like this first game only scratched the surface. I look forward to playing again and would highly recommend this if you're looking for something thats really going to make you think.
