Board game instruction manual needed

[Devhux]

This one is certainly not easy, but I'm looking for instructions on how to play the old board game "Mandala." I have the game with all its pieces, but no instruction manual.

Anyone up to the challenge of tracking down a PDF manual (or if you actually have this game and can scan/take a picture of the manual), it would be greatly appreciated.

(and yes, I did try Google).

That's definately the right game. I've had this one for quite some time, but we've finally dug up our old board games (some dating back to 1971. :)

Perhaps you're having trouble because it's "Mancala" not "Mandala"?

Check Hopper's post... :|

But that's what I first thought, too :)

check out this place:

www.darwinsgamecloset.com

the have a huge warehouse of game pieces for old games, and copies of rulebooks.

they say:

If there are rules you are looking for and you do not see them listed you can email us to see if we have them available for you. We are currently running about 60% in finding missing game rules.

so, they don't have mandala listed, but they'll likely be able to find it for you, and you can't beat $4 shipped...

Success! I finally found the rules over at New Gamebits (http://www.newgamebits.com/). They seem to have rules posted online for many board games (and it's nice to see just what sorts of games are/were available). :)
