Abstract
Most African board games have high state space complexity and limit their implementation on mobile phones and hardly any are. In this paper, we discuss the state space of such board games and investigate several African board games from the Mancala family. The paper provides a basis and rational for software games that match the broader interests from the continental context. We implement a version of the board games for the Nokia GPRS mobile phones and describe how the game was developed, and tested. The game application is for the Nokia 6310i mobile phone. We describe how the game was developed, implemented and tested on a mobile phone
