What is it?
Kalah is the oldest Mancala game for the Macintosh I know, and it is the one that plays best on compact Macs. In fact, along with the DOS game Kalakh it is the oldest Mancala game for an extant platform I know at all.
Kalah was created by Lev Possajennikov (Leo
) in 1991, when he
was still in Moscow, using Pascal code by Scot Drysdale, which in turn
was based on SBASIC code by Steve Garland from 1978.
As for gameplay, Kalah abides by what I consider the classic Mancala rules. Apart from choosing whether the human player or the computer starts first, and choosing between four levels of opponent AI, there is nothing to configure.
