Songo: Cameroonian Mancala

Discover Songo: 4 AI levels, daily challenges, online and private matches, leaderboards, and live games to watch.

Discover Songo, a Cameroonian strategy game from the mancala family of African sowing games. The 14-pit board starts with 70 seeds: sow around the board, prepare captures, and be the first to collect 40.
