★★★★★ "Avalanche Mode Makes It Overall Fun But Flawed. Doesn’t allow for random amount of marbles in each hole to start each game which makes games repetitive against AI. Even after purchasing upgrade it’s still not an option. Otherwise would be a 5 ⭐️" - SainAsylum

Cheating
I’m playing on one player and I noticed that when it was my go they would put my stones in the other opponent’s ( computer ) Mancala , when the computer went it would play properly.
