Mancala

 

Description

I have played the board game Mancala with friends and strangers on the street not only in Namibia but also here in Mannheim. It represents Namibia´s legacy in Mannheim to me. I chose it because it is more than just a game. In case you do not have your board with you, it can be easily substituted by digging 12 holes in the sand and looking for 67 pebbles. It is a good example of how little one needs in life.
