This article examines published and unpublished accounts of Mankala games from an area south of a line drawn from Cameroun to Eritrea—and including Madagascar—with a primary focus on East Africa. By formulating a classification based essentially on the mode of capture used and by tracing the distribution of these various classes, as well as of certain other minor but distinctive component traits, it is hoped to offer useful material for the study of patterns of cultural dissemination in the area, and of incoming and outgoing influences
