Kid-Cala is a spiced-up game system to make mancala games "more palatable" for children. It was designed by Vince Kurr, San Mateo CA (USA) in 1998. The game system employs wooden fruits (apples, oranges, grapes and bananas) as counters. In most games that are described in the rules leaflet, this is just an aesthetic way of reaching out to "kid culture", but in Banan-Cala the fruits have also a functional meaning.

| - Kid-Cala is a spiced-up game system to make mancala games "more palatable" for children. It was designed by Vince Kurr, San Mateo CA (USA) in 1998. The game system employs wooden fruits (apples, oranges, grapes and bananas) as counters. In most games that are described in the rules leaflet, this is just an aesthetic way of reaching out to "kid culture", but in Banan-Cala the fruits have also a functional meaning. The rules leaflet provides the English rules of a simplified Mancala game which is called "beginner's version", Kalah and Banan-Cala. French rules in some editions give the rules of Awélé instead of Banan-Cala, thus reflecting the popularity of this traditional mancala game in France.
