MiniMancala → Portuguese. MiniMancala was invented in 2001 by Christian Freeling. It is one of the smallest mancala games in existence, although Nano-Wari is smaller and Micro-Wari (played on a board of the same size) needs fewer seeds. Freeling calls it the "smallest almost non-trivial mancala game". MiniMancala was solved by the inventor and then implemented by Ed van Zon with two Java applications called Lite-8 and MiniMancala. With perfect play the game is a draw.
