Meow-CALA (Import)

I picked this up for a family game night, and the cat-shaped tokens are a huge upgrade from the plain stones in classic Mancala. The rules are identical, so we were strategizing within minutes. It’s easily our new go‑to for a quick, relaxing game.

The cat-shaped tokens are a delightful upgrade from the usual stones in Mancala, and the board feels sturdier than I expected. My niece picked up the rules in just a couple of rounds.

The little cat tokens are surprisingly pleasant to handle during play and the board folds up nicely for storage. Only reason for 4 stars is I wish the instructions were a bit clearer on a couple of scoring details.
