GAME NIGHT: Mancala (Ages 18+)
Join us at the library on Wednesday, July 8th at 6pm for an evening of Mancala. This year’s Summer Reading Program theme is Unearth a Story – Dinosaurs, Archaeology, and Paleontology. Our adult events will focus mainly on ancient civilizations, their customs & historical sites as discovered by archeologists.
Mancala is a classic “count and capture” game with roots dating back thousands of years—with archaeological evidence suggesting early versions existed in ancient Egypt and Jordan as far back as 6000 B.C.E. Known to have been enjoyed for generations across Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, this timeless game of strategy is easy to learn but challenging to master.
You need not know how to play, we’re happy teach you!
Ages 18+. Participation limited to 16. You must pre-register by emailing RachelG@scplva.net. Your registration is not confirmed until you receive a reply email.
