Roxy Raccoon's Mancala Madness

Oh boy! I love Mancala, so when I found out the Roxy devs were making a Mancala game I knew I had to get it. This was a childhood favorite of mine and one that I regularly play with my daughter. So, does this game deliver? Yes it does! It’s basically everything I could hope for and more. There’s a lot of stuff here and is a ton of fun. I don’t see myself playing online much but that’s okay, there’s plenty of stuff to do single player as well as offline multiplayer!

I love Mancala and this seemed the best option on Steam. The characters are cute, but the UI/fonts/menu are garish and jarring. There's a lot of little extra fluffy content like memory match, peg solitaire, etc. The story mode felt VERY short and there was only one match in which I was in any danger of losing (I still won). But it works.

You want to play a game to relax and pass the time, this is one for you. Classic Mancala you love with a twist. Lots of customization which has come always with all Roxy Raccoon games. Fun story line. A must play.

Mancala On Steriods! Playing Mancala has never felt so good! I used to play back in middle school all the time. I was pleasantly surprised by how polished the gameplay is for this game. There are some very satisfying effects and good level of detail on the boards. Playing is very intuitive, there are visual and audio queues, and you even get to play as little creatures that are extremely cute. I was also impressed with the AI - it has a great difficulty curve, starting out as easy to beat and ending with a few more challenging opponents. The dev clearly went all out, as for a simple Mancala game, this really has a crap ton of extra content. I mean, there is a whole story mode, tons of customization options (including the actual board you play on - there is a Canoe, my personally favorite), and even a minigame mode where you can play like 5 different minigames. It also has an online mode even! There was unfortunately no one else playing while I was on, so I cannot attest to how well it works, but if its anything like the rest of the features I would assume it works well. Also - the soundtrack is an absolute BANGER! There is a wide variety of tracks to listen to, and you can even skip to your favorite one mid-match. There is really just some minor issues with things like resolution (I'm on 2560x1080 [1440p], it appears that the canvases aren't quite scaled for this res), a couple of the minigames could use some more work, and I personally feel that some of the UI is either too big or in the wrong places, especially for the story mode text boxes. But again - for a cheap little 5$ game, this was done extremely well. And most of the issues are both minor AND are part of things that IMO are complete bonuses when considering the fact that this is just a little Mancala game. I'm very impressed with the developer, as I hear he made it all by himself. Hats off to you sir! Would definitely recommend.

Raccoons and Board games, what’s not to love? Recommended? You betcha!

Great game

This is the best mancala pc game

Not your typical board game with animals! Don’t expect some crazy party game. Plays like traditional mancala, includes a story mode, lots of unlockables and customization. Local play, online play and is just solid overall. No crazy gimmicks or wild swings in terms of gameplay. It delivers on what it promises. Good overall.
