1:00 PM | in-person at Philipse Manor Hall | Free!

The oldest game in our series, and one of the oldest in the world, Mancala dates back to 3rd century Egypt, and has been adopted all over the world, including throughout Africa. Originally using seeds or stones and rows of holes or pits in the earth, and possibly based on ancient food storage, the game was adapted to wooden boards using stones or marbles. A two-player game, the players take turns counting out stones into the holes, with opportunities to capture your opponent's stones! Known as "count and capture," the goal of the game is to fill your storage pit with your own and your opponent's stones. This simple game is great for all ages.

Instruction begins at 1:00 PM. Bring a partner, or make a new friend while you learn together.

Other historical games will also be available for self-guided play.

This program is open to all ages and is free for everyone! Pre-registration is recommended. Call 914-965-4027 or email philipsemanorhall@parks.ny.gov to register. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
