Mancala Stones - Made in USA

These are common, simple glass beads. They're used for games like Mancala, for which this set is sold, but they're also used in tons of other games as counters of all sorts. And this is one of the most effective ways to get ten of each of five different colors I've found. Oh you can save a little money by buying glass beads in bulk packs by weight and parceling them out into smaller sets, but … why when you really only need about 20-30 of any given color, given that these are so cheap? If they included white, black, and green as pictured (none of the sets I've bought have had those colors), they'd even be useful for games like Zendo. As it is, you can simply use other colors for Zendo. :)The white bag that comes with the stones is cheap and frays almost immediately. If I cared about that, it might have cost a star. I don't, so it doesn't. :)

They were fine as a replacement for my mancala game but they were a little large.

By playing the mancala game, you are bound to lose those stones that the game had provided. Recently i got the game, but I already loses some stones in less than a week!! A WEEK I TELL YOU!!! Anyways this can replaces the missing stones that I lose and I would probably buy again if I lose these stones too. The marbles and the clearness of the stone does not differentiate from the stones that I have so it a plus. Definitely recommended to buy to just to be on the safe side if you have the mancala board game.

These are wonderful and very pretty, as pictured. I do not think the drawstring bag is shoddy as a reviewer said. You should knot the ends of the drawstring. I love Mancala! I have played it on and off since childhood. They come with excellent instructions for the game with more rules than I have known which has made the game more fun and challenging. There were 52 stones in the bag. They would be good for other uses to.

There's not a lot to be said about these, except that they get the job done. I bought these to replace stones that had gone missing over the years as little children would get the set out to play with them. Very happy to have a full set again (with a few spares)

The stones are not slippery. The size and shape are right for my fingers to hold. The problem: If you play 6 stones /hole, the number of stones/pack are not enough. So, you must order 2 packs.

We lost all the original marble pieces for our Mancala set. These were great and not as expensive as some of the other replacements we had seen. They came with a nice pouch to keep them all safe and even included a few extra.
