About

Stones II is a shareware game by Nathaniel Tagg. I have seen this game called Mancala, Ouare, Awele, Ayo and Kalah. I've seen it marketed under the name Arcana, and heard of a commertial version called "Sorry". I've heard it referred to as being African. Mesopotamian, East Asian, or Indian in origin, and seems to come in almost as many variations as card games do. The game is played all over the world, by all ages. Children aged 7 and up can play. Although not intended as an educationaly game, playing reinforces simple arithmetic skills. Stones II features full colour and sound, fast and easy play, full documentation, many game variants, and a selection of computer opponents varying from the mundane to the unbeatable. Play the computer or a friend. Stones II will run on any Macintosh computer equipped with system 7.0 or later and Colour Quickdraw (i.e. any Mac made since the Mac SE excludeing the PB 100 and the Classic). The game is both PowerPC and 68k native. It requires 1 Mb of hard drive space, and will run fine with 1 Mb of free memory. This game is shareware, $10 American or Canadian, but does not require registration for full features. This file does not replace Stones v1.2, which remains freeware. Nathaniel Tagg Physics grad student University of Guelph "The chances of a neutrino actually hitting something as it travels through all this howling emptiness are roughly comparable to that of dropping a ball bearing at random from a cruising 747 and hitting, say, an egg sandwich." -- Douglas Adams, _Mostly_Harmless_
