Subject: Mancala

Modified by Carpe Diem (6. February 2013, 17:19:31)

I think Mancala is one of the most skewed games when it comes to first move advantage - 63% - 33%. Does BK ever look at rules tweaks when there is a heavy bias like this?

If so, I think a simple shift in points to win as white would be worth looking at. At the very least, I think ties should go to black. I know I feel like I've won when I get a draw with black.
